DanAgain, shoutout to our boys at YGO Scope for providing such a sophisticated tool. I'm pretty excited for some of the future features to be ready, but for now, let's keep doing this the hard way.
Like last time, I've manually gone through this data to a pretty excessive amount filtering out things like wins vs a disconnect, or two players with a rating of 100 and one simply flips reincarnation in the standby phase and chains droll to 'ftk' him illegally. This data will, like last week, look a bit weird to you guys, but is because of that kind of filtering, as well as a few other steps I've taken due to a few inherent pitfalls in how a tool like this works. If your Sky Striker Engage is negated, and no other sky striker cards are played, the tool has no way to know which variant of the deck you were playing, so that too requires a lot of manual checks.
With all that said, lets take a look at week 1, and see how Cybernetic Horizon has impacted the results, if at all.
Top 10 Decks:
-63.51% (75.51% last week) with Sky Striker variant.
-68.56% (69.21% last week) without either, or "pure".
Gouki HERO saw a small uptick in win percent in the last week, as people continue to try more techs and cut the ones that aren't working. This 'dark gouki' variant certainly seems to play through hand traps a lot better than the pure variant, and the sky striker variant is taking a beating due to the increased number of rivalry/gozen cards entering the meta as true dracos and altergeist gain popularity in the recent days. The SPYRAL variant had only 10 people use it, so the sample size is honestly too small to be significant, but it did lose 7 of those matches.
- 64.71% (76.47% last week) With Monarch backrow
Now in 5th, the masses are running things like twin twisters even in their main decks now to combat the strategy of turboing into rivalry and gozen match. This decks dominance has been balanced out but it still holds a top 5 position. Interestingly, the monarch variant dropped more than the pure one. If I had to guess, I'd say it's the same thing, people having twisters for erupt.
Also worth mentioning is that Burning Abyss and Dark World both tried Danger! out to incredibly poor results. Burning Abyss Danger had a 49.15% win rate and Danger! World had a 0% win rate. That is not a typo.
Top 20 Main Deck Cards by win rate:
Tier 1 Decks (>2000 decklists analyzed):
Sky Striker
Some pretty incredible changes from last week! Looks like Altergeist gained some representation numbers, but still have surprisingly low usage considering its ability to win vs every single matchup. It also looks like although Gouki fell to 2nd place they're still the correct choice as far as their win rates vs the most popular decks. True Dracos win rates fell off a cliff this week compared to last. Mermails didn't have enough people used to make the Tier 1 list (requires at least 100 unique people playing the deck before given consideration) but its winrates are rather strong vs the trickstar and true draco decks.
