By crunching the numbers on these decklists, I determined the metagame share and non-mirror, non-bye, non-draw win rate of every archetype.
With more than 2,700 Regional Championship competitors in total, a lot of Standard decklists are available to sink our teeth into. You can find Top 8 brackets, photos, and more in our event coverage archive.
Mexico/Central America/Caribbean (4 Pro Tour invites). Europe/Middle East/Africa (36 Pro Tour invites). Australia/New Zealand (12 Pro Tour invites). For each region, the listed number of Pro Tour invites include the start-up bonus invitations that Wizards of the Coast awards for the 2022-23 season only: To provide an overview of all these events, I collected their MTG Melee pages, which yield decklists, results, and standings after the Swiss rounds. These thrice-yearly Regional Championships are the new focal points for competitive play in each geographical region and offer a chance for players to qualify for the Pro Tour. The second cycle of Regional Championships for the 2022-23 season took place in March and April, inviting the best players from each region to compete in the Standard format for cash prizes, World Championship seats, and 166 invitations to Pro Tour March of the Machine. As a result, I'm hyped to see what it will look like at Pro Tour March of the Machine at MagicCon: Minneapolis next week, where the best players in the world will battle it out on the big stage. Standard has great over the past month, and the new set offers many exciting cards and strategies.
Today, we'll take a look at the top Standard archetypes, discuss how they evolved through a full cycle of Regional Championships, and analyze what's likely to change with March of the Machine. Hello and welcome back to Metagame Mentor, your weekly guide to the top decks and latest Constructed developments on the path to the Pro Tour.
