Legend matchups

Each cell is the row legend’s win rate against the column legend, with the number of matches under it. Dark cells are matchups that never happened. The diagonal counts mirror matches. Small samples swing wildly, so read single-match cells as anecdotes. The 8 most-played legends at deck-tracking stores.

Confirmed means a legend reported by the player themselves (0), agreed by two players (0) or signed off by an admin (43). 28 events have no decklists at all, so those are where reports matter most. Updates hourly.

How to read this page

Skirmishes, players, matches and champions come from every published store. Skirmishes are the only play tracked so far. Byes aren’t counted as matches.
Legend numbers only use stores where at least 50% of players submit a decklist. Where only a few do, strong players are over-represented and the picture skews.
“New faces” are players with no recorded result before this season began.
The page refreshes about once an hour as results and decks are added.
