As every RWx deck should. It has 2.5 amazing modes for 2 mana.
... if you're playing creature aggro, which suggestions that every RWx deck is creature aggro. I guess I'm not that surprised by this fact, but I AM surprised to see creature aggro as such a widely used strategy.
In a way, these statistics can be useful to help sculpt the casual/competitive histogram as well. Great thread.
I think decks other than creature aggro have to be running it as well. The strange thing about that charm is that one of its modes, the indestructibility, is actually undercosted relative to counterparts (Second Sunrise, Faith's Reward). Any multiplayer deck can also use the double strike mode in the same way that any deck can use Hatred. Opponent attacks opponent, you pile on. It's definitely at its most reliable when you're doing the beating, and best when you've got damage triggers, but if 80% of the time it gets used as protection from wipes anyway, it's not that far behind in control.
Are you taking Known Sample Size subtract the Current Sample Size?
The best way to manage this without tons of basic math is to have everyone give you their set of data, then you can add it up, and have an excel chart of known quantities of the sample, then continuous rows of newly acquired data of the same sample.
You would need to create a graph out of the known date points to calculate the slope in regards to usage of over a set period of time.
From there you can calculate the average rate of change with "Calculus", and basic Algebra to see what trends are created over time, and what trends are diminishing.
With just simple points of data; you can do anything!
With the known top 200 list; you are able to separate the cards into known strategies, and we can see what strategies are increasing/decreasing in popularity. I already see the common increase of Stax, Control, and Comes into play effects not Aggro or Combo which is good.
Just my two cents, a graph of the samples would be nice to see what are becoming just that, "Staples", and what cards are losing their privileged that comes with the word, "Staples".
- Each month I calculate the total number of occurrences for each card in decks that are less than one year old in the decklist database.
- Each month some decks are added and some decks are removed. The total number of relevant decks is almost always between 800-1000
- In last month's top 200, 598 people played Sol Ring. In this month's top 200, 634 people are playing Sol Ring. That does not necessarily mean that people are starting to play more Sol Ring. There are just a lot more new decklists added because Dm255 did not update the decklist database for a long time. Sol Ring is still ranked as the number one card in the database, nothing significant has changed regarding that card.
- In last months ranking, Darksteel Ingot was the 10th most played card. This month it is the 11th most played card and Phyrexian Arena took over its place in the top 10. The difference in ranking for both of those cards is respectively -1 and +1.
- The datasets I kept from previous runs of the script are the total number of occurrences of the different cards and their ranking. If you want I can make a graph to see how the ranking of Smokestack changed over time to see if stax is being played more...

I play it in creatureless decks.
I also use all 3 modes, but know that the 4 damage is a meta call.
Double Strike = Use it with a sword wielding token or general and get double triggers. Ooooor, give an opponent's creature double strike to swing for lethal against someone else. It's sort of like hitting someone's dude with Tainted Strike.
4 Damage = Ends attrition based games. Or, just kills most planeswalkers - which we see a fair number of.
Indestructibility = As Justice said, it's way undercosted at 2 mana. I tend to run this mode more often than the others, but it's because in RWx control decks they love to destroy everything. If you can Jokulhaups and keep your entire board, :thumbsup:. If your opponent can Jokulhaups and you keep your entire board, :thumbsup:.

Those first two seem really niche, but you (and Justice) make a great point about the indestructibility. I can definitely see why that would be a decent include in RWx now, thanks!
They are narrower than the indestructibility for sure, but if there was a card that said "RW, Instant - All your stuff is indestructible this turn" it would have also made the list. Adding crap tons of utility and flexibility on there makes this a near auto-include in RWx decks right now regardless of strategy.
I guess I am not surprised it's where it is. Hull Breach seems odd since it's been around for a long time. I'm curious if it's more because RGx is getting more playable. No idea.
when i saw snap at -6, i was super happy
i was also very happy to have pulled a playset of sylvian primordials, 2 were foil.
keep up the good work, this is super helpful

Yeah, even the one indestructible mode on a White card at 2cc would've been exciting. Like a fixed Second Sunrise for cheaper.
Of course, there's the playability with Sunforger. When Faith's Reward was printed to be exactly like Second Sunrise, I was paranoid that Wizards was keeping these effects like Ghostway deliberately confined to creatures only when used off Sunforger. Rootborn Defenses confirmed that somehow for me, then Boros Charm shows up.
I guess it serves them right that they had to ban Sunrise from Modern.
Seeing in the minus column a plethora of traditional blue staples. MoM, Treachery, Shackles, etc. I find that pretty surprising! Is blue being played less then, or is it that blue play is just moving away form these powerful cards in exchange for a different style of play?

Thanks again for doing this!
Yeah wow, all the biggest losers are Blue. It could be a seasonal thing where Blue players go elsewhere between block releases. A lot of those like Palinchron and MoM are combo pieces as well, so maybe combo isn't seen as much during this time of season. Or maybe combo is just losing favor generally.
Otherwise, I think the conclusion is that Blue is getting less popular due to the Legend Rule change to clones. Interestingly, Dimir Signet is down a lot and Boros signet is up into the top, ahead of every other Blue signet. Popularity of Aurelia and Tajic may have something to do with that, but Blue is clearly down besides. Because for that matter, Hinder, Rite of Replication, Capsize, Evacuation, Venser, Tezz, Image, Gilded Drake, Dissipate, Bribery, JtMS and other Blue control pieces all posted double-digit losses. I think Blue gave one last hurrah to replace clone with theft like Shackles, Gilded Drake and Treachery, then on realizing it wasn't going to be as good, went into removal colors for cards like Fleshbag and Oblation, which both posted double-digit gains. It may not necessarily mean that all these players are changing decks, because after all Cyclonic Rift is still gaining tons of ground, it's just that players seem to be using the other colors in their multicolor decks for removal instead of Blue for PI, on top of the people who are not running Blue as much anymore.
I think another trend supports that, which is the significant gains to equipment. Since legend removal is worse, commander damage and equipments are better, and debatably the best recently printed commanders are aggressive commanders.
I guess this disposes of the debate on whether the Legend rule change was good or bad for Blue.
You are over thinking it. People are just playing more non-blue cards in blue decks. We just got slammed with a multi-color block that encouraged multi-colored decks and people reacted. I've seen more 2 and 3 color blue decks lately than pretty much ever. Also, Jund, Dega, and Necra have been making their rounds as those become more mature. A lot of people are running Ghave, Kaalia, and whatever ****ty Jund general they can strap to the front of their deck.
I cannot imagine that the Clone Wars were really that big of a reason to run a lot of those cards before... especially when all the testing and anecdotes I've seen imply that clones are now more powerful.
I don't believe for a second that blue is less popular or less good.
Yeah, the one outlier to the trend is the huge gain of Cyclonic Rift, and that does seem to suggest that people are just playing less blue in their multicolor decks, while still keeping the best options. I have also been seeing less mono-color decks, particularly mono-Blue and mono-Red, so multicolor, as always, is the thing to watch.
I do think that the evidence does show a decline in Blue, whether in the sense of absolute power-level or only relative to other color combos. That's not to say that it's worse in it's ranking to the other colors. If it's the most powerful color, which it still is, it's still going to be run the most. What we'd see are the same commanders, different compositions, and that seems to be the case.
So given the decline in Blue, an explanation is not far off. I just grabbed a hold of the biggest losers and speculated given history. In recent context, the legend-rule change was huge, and Blue was obviously the only color affected. As to what the reasons were of running Clones before, I don't see any escaping the fact that Phantasmal Image had a certain anti-shroud/hexproof removal niche. It was never the only use for the card, certainly, which is why gains in alternatives like Fleshbag and Grave Pact, although pretty big, are not big enough combined to offset the huge, ongoing decline for Image. Lots of people found alternatives, but lots of people kept playing Image anyway.
He is now correctly ranked 402th with 28 occurrences in the database. This however screws up the trends for this months because Jin-Gitaxias went from being unranked to being 402th on the list (rising 5032 places in the ranking)
It is now officially 1 year ago that Primeval Titan was banned. 18 decks in the database constructed or updated after that date still include it in their list, thus ignoring the ban (or playing according to the 1v1 rules)
Kokusho's rank has stabilised and is now ranked 154th in the top 200.
Here are the other trends for this month:
Numbers represent difference in ranking compared to previous run of script (09/03/2013)

Not really good. I have 11 copies of Tuktuk Scrapper and 1 copy of Sea Gate Loremaster. I guess all the ally decks are more than one year old.
Time for a new one!
If you want I can try to compile a list of played allies that includes those played in the older decklists as well.
The +140 is actually the difference in ranking.
It went from 23 copies ranked 479th to 34 copies ranked 339th.
I don't count the difference in copies as the amount of decklists also changes between months.
140 copies would rank it in the top 30. And Boros Charm may be good, but it is not top 30 material

I fixed a bug that completely omitted Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur from the results.
He is now correctly ranked 402th with 28 occurrences in the database. This however screws up the trends for this months because Jin-Gitaxias went from being unranked to being 402th on the list (rising 5032 places in the ranking)
It is now officially 1 year ago that Primeval Titan was banned. 18 decks in the database constructed or updated after that date still include it in their list, thus ignoring the ban (or playing according to the 1v1 rules)
Kokusho's rank has stabilised and is now ranked 154th in the top 200.
Here are the other trends for this month:

Do you have a link to what you tried?
I'm not a native speaker so I don't feel up to the task of writing a detailed description of how to read the results found in the OP. I you have trouble understanding how I obtained some of the statistics you can always ask your questions here. The results should be fairly straightforward to understand though.
1) Post your decklist in the appropriate subforum on mtgsalvation
2) Submit a link to your decklist in the decklist database
3) Make sure you use [DECK][/DECK] tags when listing your deck
4) Keep your deck up to date (I only count decks that have been posted and/or updated in the past year)
