Premodern: Event growth shows concerning decline.

The Premodern format is holding steady, but there are some warning signs in the data. Our Final Health Index sits at 65.7, suggesting a need to keep a close eye on the metagame's evolution. While not dire, it's a signal that things aren't perfect.

Digging into the numbers, we see a real mixed bag. The Metagame Diversity Score is a solid 80.5, and the Archetype Distribution Score is even better at 90.1, indicating a healthy spread of strategies. However, the Event Growth Score is a concerning 0.0, directly linked to July having 0 reported events. This decline is a major red flag. Thankfully, Player Growth is strong at 89.8, showing interest in the format remains.

Looking at the Top 10 Decks, Sligh (RDW) is leading the pack at 6%, followed by Terrageddon at 5%. Goblins are also putting up a fight at 4%. Beyond those, the metagame seems fairly diverse, with Elves and White Weenie having smaller portions. Notably, Aggro comprises 26.7% of the meta, with Control at 43% and Combo at 30.3%, a historical shift away from aggro.

According to Reddit discussions, the community is hyperfocused on format staples like Force of Will and Wasteland, and their effect on format balance. The debate is whether their power stifles creativity. There are attempts being made to revisit older archetypes, showing an effort to adapt and innovate. While the absence of B&R changes means the data doesn't reflect any direct impact, the community is clearly thinking about the banlist and its potential effects.
