Got all the data I need. Now I'll merge Conflict and Caw Gates (both Gates-based archetypes) and compile the top 10.

Merged Gates stats:

  • Entries: 8 + 6 = 14
  • Wins: 19 + 14 = 33, Losses: 17 + 13 = 30, Draws: 2 + 1 = 3
  • Winrate (excl. draws): 33/(33+30) = 52.38%
  • Total matches: 38 + 28 = 66
  • Combined presence: 3.78% + 2.78% = 6.56%
