Modern: Format diverse, aggro decks prevalent

Modern's looking pretty stable this week, with the Final Health Index landing at 69.5. The data suggests a format that's relatively diverse and healthy, with no immediate cause for alarm. It looks like the format is remaining diverse and engaging.

Breaking down the numbers, the Metagame Diversity Score is at 72.3, showing a good spread of decks. The Archetype Distribution Score is a solid 94.1, indicating a balanced mix of aggro, control, and combo. However, Player Growth is a bit concerning at 24.9, with paper play declining by an average of -15.2% each month. Event Growth is stable at 85.9.

Looking at the Top 10, Boros Aggro is the clear frontrunner at 15.2%, followed by Death and Taxes at 13%. 4/5c Aggro and Affinity are tied at 5%. The rest of the top 10 are below that, signaling a drop in meta concentration. It looks like Aggro decks make up the majority of the format, comprising 43.3% of the meta.

Community chatter focuses on Rakdos Evoke and Amulet Titan as decks to watch. Orcish Bowmasters remains a hot topic. The community feels cautiously optimistic, even though there are concerns about the potential dominance of certain decks and cards. Recent B&R changes have kept things stable, which has been healthy for the format and the format seems to be adapting on its own.
