Premodern is looking relatively stable this week, with a Final Health Index of 67.2. It seems like we're in a period of refinement rather than revolution. Let's dive into the numbers.

The Metagame Diversity Score is a solid 82.3, and the Archetype Distribution Score is even higher at 94.7, suggesting good balance across the board. However, the Event Growth Score (40.3) and Player Growth Score (27.4) show a decline in participation. We're seeing fewer players and events compared to earlier in the year, despite a decent showing in the middle months. Time to drum up some local interest!

Looking at the Top 10 Decks, Goblins remains the deck to beat at 9.2%, followed by Sligh (RDW) at 7%. Madness is hanging in there at 4%, and Mono Black Aggro and White Weenie are tied at 3%. Decks like Terrageddon, Machine Head, Elves, Deadguy Ale, and RG Aggro are all vying for a piece of the pie, each representing 1-2% of the metagame. It is worth noting that the super-archetype breakdown is pretty well balanced with Aggro, Control, and Combo all around 32%.

The Reddit community is focused on deck optimization, with strategies like Stiflenought, UW/Bant control, Sligh, and White Weenie being actively discussed. Force of Will, Accumulated Knowledge, and Wasteland are still format staples generating buzz. There's also some speculation about Survival of the Fittest and concerns it might warp the format. Price speculation continues for key cards like City of Traitors and Lion's Eye Diamond. The data suggests there have been no recent B&R changes, so things are chugging along as expected.
