Woho! Thanks!

Thank you lordalx and of course Lumin, your time and effort to prepare these stats are much appreciated!

Thank you so much for pulling the data and statistics together. Very interesting to read.

Is it possible to see from the data or stats whether a card is generally picked by higher ELO players. Would be interesting to see whether there are certain cards that are relatively more valued my masters and experts compared to good or strong players?

There are two stats I think would be superior for assessing the power level of cards. I think the current stats, only tracking based on played, biases too much on situationally good cards, which are only played when they are good.

I would like the following stats:

Elo/Draft: the average Elo won/lost across all the times the card was in your opening hand, regardless of whether you played it or not.
MADP: Average Draft Position. Unlike normal ADP, if a card goes undrafted, it is treated as an "8".
If the MADP of a card is above 7, that's a good sign the card should be on the "Ban weak cards" banlist.
Alternatively:
AD%ile: The average of its draft %iles. Draft %iles are calculated as 100% times:
in draft 7: 13/14, 11/14, 9/14, 7/14, 5/14, 3/14, 1/14 depending on position drafted.
In draft 8: 15/16, 13/16 ... 3/16. The undrafted card is 1/16.
In draft 9: 17/18, ... 5/18. The undrafted cards are 2/18.
In draft 10: 19/20, ... 7/20. The undrafted cards are 3/20.

I like the idea of average draft position being 8 for undrafted cards. Surely if a card goes undrafted it should get a worse score than cards that were drafted 7th

Hi,
thanks for the stats. I noticed that on the 4 player with AAS list, (last list) there are 2 rows with Market Stall and no row with Sheep Walker. Also Rank 796 seems to have gotten lost, when pasting it onto this website.
Greetings Apfel

There are two cards called Market Stall and Sheep Walker wasn't enabled during the timeframe of these statistics, so both of those are correct.

Seems like Lumin is on hiatous, no streams etc.

Can anyone compile stats for August 2025-March 2026 perhaps?

No response here =(

Who has access to the statistics? Could they be sent to anyone else to publish? =)

BUMPing this post again. Since I assume these stats are available to more people than Lumin (who no longer plays activly it seems) Can't someone who has back-room access get the stats?

I could help compile the Google Sheets tables if it's any help.
