First half of the year stats (2025)

Today, as promised, we'll take a look at the half year stats. They aren't as meta relevant than the monthly stats we do, as they include pre crisis rotation games, but are interesting nonetheless. And we'll flip them from worst to best this time. Really interesting to see Patch Up take the place of the most taken restricted card here. Im guessing this has to do with a lot of pre rotation Asgard games who liked to pick Patch Up over the currently much better liked Sacrifice and Fall Back. I am a Baron after all was the most picked character specific card, closely followed by Chi Mastery. Neither is a surprise and both are very much still staples of the meta today. Interestingly enough they both are used by characters who are meta staples even without the cards. Heroes for Hire, This is a Robbery, Cosmic Obliteration and One below all are all very strong cards on popular and good characters but seeing Journey through Limbo here is a bigger surprise because Magik only got buff...

June 2025 affiliation stats

  Welcome to the June stats article. As always we divide the article into All Events (AE) and Rated Singels Events (RSE) starting with AE:  A lot of games have been played in June indeed. Let's see how every affiliation fared in them:  Apocalypse reigns supreme with an above 60% win rate.  May: 3rd. +2 SHIELD, on the back of Namor and unbelievably Steve Rogers, grabs second place.  May: 7th. +5 Web Warriors are a top 3 faction as usual and ASM leadership had a fantastic month for them (in few games).  May: 1st. -2 Maximus and Medusa drag Inhumans down who otherwise would've been in second place.  May: 2. -2 Criminal Syndicate climbs into the top 5 with amazing performances from both Kingpin and Shadowland Daredevil.  May: 8th. +3 In a rare occurrence Steve 3 beats out Steve 1 in win rate for the Avengers while Sam in his limited games puts up top tier numbers and even Hulkbuster has a decent rate.  May: 6th. Even Hydra has had a surprisingly ...

Stats: New Mutants go 4:0 at the first London GT

  Norbert did it again 😉 Let's take a look at the stats for the first ever London GT where as the title already spoiled someone took New Mutants to a 4:0 finish. That someone is one of the hosts of the fantastic Rapid Fire Podcast Redcathal, whom I had the pleasure of meeting at last year's WTC. I'm sure he'll cover his run on his podcast but otherwise I'd be very interested in hearing more about his list and play style with this not much loved affiliation. Importantly he didn't win day 1 of the GT but got second place because of SOS. That honor goes to another Irish player in Mike Porter who brought Inhumans, which were very popular at the event as we'll see.  That's a very interesting and unusual spread of affiliations here. Loads of Inhumans, Criminals and Avengers are pretty expected but Spider-Foes showing up with 4 players (of 48 total) is a surprise and probably an even bigger one is just a single Web Warriors player and only two Apocalypse one. ...
