in standard in the last month, what are the most common card in the 'unknown' archetype?

Here are the most common mainboard cards in the Unknown archetype in Standard over the last month (across 66 decks total):

Mountain leads at 51.5% presence, followed closely by Multiversal Passage at 50.0% (avg 3.1 copies). Plains shows up in 47% of lists, suggesting a White-Red base is prevalent. Springleaf Drum appears in 44% of decks, hinting at artifact or go-wide strategies. Get Lost (38%), Seam Rip (36%), and Abandoned Air Temple (36%) round out the top removal and utility slots.

Looking at the creature package, Haliya, Guided by Light (35%), Sage of the Skies (33%), Voice of Victory (33%), Momo, Friendly Flier (32%), and Starfield Shepherd (32%) all cluster around the same presence range. The mix of flying-themed creatures alongside Springleaf Drum and Multiversal Passage suggests many of these unclassified decks are Boros (RW) or multicolor go-wide/flicker-style builds that haven't been formally tagged.

Since the Unknown bucket is a catch-all for unclassified decklists, the results represent a mix of different brews rather than a single cohesive archetype. If any of these patterns look like a specific deck you want to investigate further, I can dig into that archetype directly.

Here are the top Unknown archetype entries by total matches played in Standard over the last month:

Top 3 entries with 15 matches (all from SCG CON Richmond on March 7, 2026):

  1. Carter Newman - 11-4-0 (15 matches)
  2. Christian Valenti - 10-4-1 (15 matches)
  3. Levi Gaines - 8-6-1 (15 matches)

Carter Newman's 11-4 record is the standout performance of the three, going deep into a major event with an unclassified brew. Christian Valenti's 10-4-1 is also impressive. These are clearly the deepest runs, as the next tier of entries drops to 9 matches, also from the same SCG CON Richmond event.

From 9-match entries, Ryan Gerleve (5-4), juncojones (2-7), biorex89 (4-5), and Camari Bolger (4-5) also played at SCG CON Richmond. The 8-match entries are spread across the Turin Regional Championship (March 7) and the ANZ Super Series Sydney Regional (March 13), with Nathan Basser (5-3) and Carboonite (5-3) being the best performers in that group.

🛠️QueryAzorius Midrange Archetype in Format

Here is the rundown on Azorius Midrange in Standard over the last 30 days.

Standing in the meta: Azorius Midrange is a fringe-to-mid tier archetype, sitting at 2.36% meta presence (107 entries across 27 tournaments). That puts it well behind the top three decks - Izzet Prowess (15.8%), Landfall (13.8%), and Izzet Lessons (10.8%) - but it is a real, consistent presence.

Performance: Its winrate sits at 49.1% excluding mirrors across 619 matches (300-311), which is essentially dead even. It is not carrying tournaments on raw power but it is not a soft target either. Compare that to format leaders like Mono White Momo (54.2%) or Bant Cub (55.8%) and it is clearly punching below average in terms of results.

What the deck looks like: The shell is very consistent. Seam Rip (99% presence), Multiversal Passage (95%), and Aang, Swift Savior (92%) are near-universal. The threat base is built around Voice of Victory, Aven Interrupter, and Floodpits Drowner - all at 4 copies in ~99% of lists. High Noon shows up as a full playset in 91% of decks, acting as a key tempo/disruption piece. The top end includes Ajani, Outland Chaperone (72% of lists), Avatar's Wrath for sweeper coverage, and a counterspell suite of Spell Snare and No More Lies. It is a very focused, low-variance archetype.
