Mathematical Tier List

By analyzing data from the Top 16 of this format's YCS', a mathematically sound Tier List can be developed. By assigning each deck a value based on how high it placed (for example, if a deck loses in the Top Sixteen round, it will receive 1/16), the sum of all values for a given deck type can be calculated. From there, a simple ranking system can be devised and implemented.

Those tier 1s.... People just din't learn, do they? There was me, thinking that fiendish chain and effect veilers had become staples, and that chain disappearance, both imprisoning mirrors (unless one hinders its user), and mirror of oaths lived in every side deck.

O, they are, mostly, but you have to remember that the best decks run well even when countered well.

Any BS tier list thread posted after this must be deleted, no exception.
