Double Masters 2022 (2X2)
Panharmonicon appears in 3% of tracked Commander decks and, when drawn, reaches the battlefield 62% of the time, with a median first-cast turn of 6.
Panharmonicon sits in 665 of the 20720 distinct Commander decks tracked on Playgroup Live, an 3% inclusion rate that reflects its role as a cornerstone doubler in any deck that leans on enters-the-battlefield triggers.
When a copy reaches a player's hand, 62% of those copies make it to the battlefield before the game ends. The median first-cast turn is 6, consistent with the card's 4-mana cost and the reality that players often develop their board before deploying it. Of 203 tracked casts, 73% stayed on the battlefield through the game's final state, a strong signal that opponents struggle to answer it once it resolves.
The commander spread tells the deeper story. Panharmonicon shows up under colorless commanders like Ultron, Artificial Malevolence, mono-white Elesh Norn, mono-red Norin the Wary, and five-color goodstuff piles alike. Any permanent with an enters trigger is a potential home, and that breadth is why the card's inclusion is distributed across 558 distinct players with no single contributor accounting for more than a small fraction of the dataset.

First-cast turn
n=203The "good card" funnel
1311 brought · 558 playersOf 1311 Panharmonicons brought to games, 326 were drawn, 203 of those were cast, and 73% of cast copies remained on the battlefield through the end of the game.
Players who cast this card win 35% of the time (n=186) , vs 24% when it never left the library (n=807).
When players drew this card but left it in hand, they won 17% (n=113) — about the same as leaving it in the library. Those players survived long enough to draw it, so the gap above is about the card resolving, not just about surviving.
Observed gap +11.5pp; 95% confidence interval +4.7pp to +18.3pp. Correlational, not causal: powerful payoffs also get cast more often in games you are already winning.
Final zone distribution
365 instancesMost Panharmonicons that finish in the graveyard or exile were actively destroyed or removed, not discarded, which matches the card's reputation as a high-priority removal target once it resolves.
