How the numbers were made

Win rates count only matches where both decks are known. Each rate carries a 95% Wilson score interval; comparisons quoted here clear that interval. Tier cuts use the interval bounds, not the point estimates. Decks with fewer than 20 decided matches are excluded from ranked views. Field share counts duelists, not matches.
