Let me pull current meta data for both Legacy and Vintage simultaneously!
Here's what to expect based on the last 30 days of data. One important caveat: both formats are split 50/50 (Legacy) or 81/19 (Vintage) between MTGO and paper — paper metas can skew toward harder-to-acquire or tactile-play-friendly decks, so adjust expectations accordingly.
Top Tier by Presence:
| Archetype | Presence | Winrate |
|---|---|---|
| Tron | 9.8% | 52.1% |
| Izzet Delver | 8.3% | 47.6% |
| Show and Tell | 8.1% | 48.4% |
| Energy | 5.7% | 51.6% |
| Dimir Tempo | 5.5% | 45.9% |
| Grixis Reanimator | 4.8% | 50.2% |
| Blue Artifacts | 4.7% | 53.9% |
| Lands | 4.3% | 54.4% |
Overperformers to watch: Death & Taxes (55.8% WR), Dimir Delver (59.4% WR — small sample), Lands, and Jeskai Midrange (54.6%) are all punching above their weight. D&T also tends to be popular at large paper events with its tactile gameplay. Izzet Delver and Show and Tell are the "show up to beat" decks with large field presence.
Top Tier by Presence:
| Archetype | Presence | Winrate |
|---|---|---|
| Sphere Shops | 10.1% | 57.7% |
| Oath | 9.5% | 50.3% |
| Raker Shops | 9.0% | 52.0% |
| Dredge | 7.4% | 50.8% |
| Initiative | 6.4% | 47.4% |
| UB Lurrus Control | 5.9% | 52.9% |
| Lurrus Breach | 5.5% | 52.1% |
Key notes: Shops variants (Sphere + Raker + Jewel) combine for ~24% of the field — expect lots of Mishra's Workshop decks. Sphere Shops is the standout performer at 57.7% WR. Lurrus decks are everywhere (~23% combined), so graveyard hate is valuable. At a small paper Vintage event, expect a higher concentration of Workshop pilots (those decks are expensive but beloved in paper).
