Frequently Asked

What is the win rate for Black commanders?
Black commanders have a 25.53% win rate across 28,431 tracked casual Commander games in the last 365 days on Playgroup.gg. The 4-player expected baseline is 25%.
How many Black commanders are tracked?
Playgroup.gg tracks 108 Black commanders with at least 40 recorded games and at least 7 distinct registered pilots in the last 365 days. The pilot diversity floor stops a single grinder from skewing the ranking with their pet deck.
How are Black commander rankings calculated?
Rankings use pod-size-normalized win rates from games tracked through the Playgroup.gg app. A win in a 2-player game and a win in a 5-player game are weighted fairly against the 25% expected baseline for 4-player Commander.
How often is the Black data updated?
Stats refresh every 6 hours. The last 365 days window means rankings shift gradually as new games are recorded and older games age out of the window.
