Tournament vs ladder

The tournament next to the ladder

The most played cards, in the tournament and in the ladder

For the cards the ladder counts the recorded games with the card in the deck of the player who records: the two measures differ, so compare the cards with each other more than the single gap.

How to read these numbers

These are the official numbers of the Crimson Cup, published by Koin Games on its Discord after each qualifier: we put them in order and set them next to the ladder. They are totals: decklists stay hidden until the top 4, so the single lists are not known.

Source: the tables Koin Games published on its official Discord after AMER #1 (October 19, 2026), read on October 20, 2026. Official Discord ↗

Ladder: the matches recorded with OriginsMeta Tracker on patch 0.7, normal and ranked together.

The words

Ban rate
banned / seen: out of the times an opponent found the Legendary in front of them at the ban, how many times they banned it.
Decks
how many of the decks submitted for the qualifier have that Legendary. The share is out of the decks counted in Koin's table.
Played
the Played column of Koin's table, as Koin counts it.
Furthest round
the furthest round of the bracket reached by a deck with that Legendary: round 4 is the round of the 32 qualified.
Share of decks (cards)
the share of all the decks submitted that contain the card, as Koin publishes it.
Ladder
for the Legendaries the share of appearances in the recorded games, counting both players; for the cards the share of recorded games with the card in the deck of the player who records.

What we know and what we don't

  • Koin publishes the 20 most played cards: the others are not in the table and we don't estimate them.
  • Tournament and ladder measure different things (decks submitted, games played): the comparison shows the gaps, it is not a win rate.
  • Each qualifier is added here when Koin publishes its numbers.
