I'm glad to see some folks are getting some use out of the list already. Thanks to Phitt77 for doing this originally and ultimately sparking the idea for me to do this last year. I've added the 2017 link to the OP as well.
I am not a big fan of the colour scheme it isn't intuitive, brain was hurting trying to keep track of what was popular.
I feel like green should be the highest and red the lowest.
There is a lot of popular cards I disagree with but hey thats okay.
The color scheme isn't really a "scheme" or trying to be anything other that just different colors. I just have to work with the colors that CubeTutor offers for tags. It's easier to keep track if you use the filter function on the view list page and filter down to only the ones you want to see.
The filters are not set up on CubeCobra yet, but I'll try to make that happen.
I know the CubeTutor color coding can get a little blurry, but I find it nice to use the filter function to see where cards land or what an average 360/450/540 etc list might look like. You can also uncheck the show colours checkbox at the top of the page.
If you're interested in more info about where exactly a card landed, here is the link to a Google doc I created. I didn't do this last year and I wish I had. Google Doc
The Google doc details the list of users' cubes included in the average list, as well as the full card list including which user's list the card appeared in and how many times each card appears exactly. So if you're wondering why a card landed where it did, you can check the doc to see just who's running it and maybe spark up a conversation with them about why.
Speaking of cubes included, I was able to get to 30 cubes this year, though I did have to stretch the criteria a bit. I got to 28 cubes looking at active users here on MTGS from the past few months. The final two cubes were recently updated (through Throne) cubes from CubeCobra and CubeTutor. Maybe this taints the list somehow, with them not being all MTGS users' cubes, but 30 lists seemed better than 28 to me. One thing I'll note on this is that you should all have a link to your cube in your sig. It's incredibly helpful. I probably could have gotten to more than 30 here on MTGS if more people had links.
Another difference this year from last year is the exclusion of Un and Conspiracy cards. I did this instinctively because I don't personally enjoy Un cards, and honestly, I wish I hadn't excluded them from the average list. This is personal choice of mine, but obviously several people enjoy them, so I think it would have been nice to see where those cards landed in the numbers for those that want to include them. By the time this regret settled with me, I had already calculated the data to a point that it was too late to go back and include them. I did miss a few (as you can see in the CT blog) and some are still included in the Google doc.
As to the data at hand, I've had people ask me why this list is somehow better than the CubeTutor average lists when I've linked last year's list to them. To answer that question and explain why I think this list is helpful, I'd say that, while this is a much smaller sample size, all of the cubes included are owned by cubers who have updated their list within the last three months. Most of them being active members participating in discussion happening on MTGS (the best Peasant cube community around). Also this isn't intended to tell you what you have to run in your cube. I personally just think it's nice to see what an average list looks like. Propaganda isn't a very popular card in the cubes included here, but my group loves it, so it's in no danger of getting cut.
With all that said, the last things I'll include here are links to the 2018 cube as well as a link to the CubeTutor comparison between the two if you're interested in seeing what changed from last year to this year. I thought about going through that info, but it's a lot and this post is long enough already. Obviously this thread is an open forum for discussion of anything interesting you folks might find in the compare.
