Public profiles, Commander stats & Playgroup 2.0.2

June 05, 2023 12:00

We've got a couple of updates for you today:

Global Commander stats

We've just released a new feature to the website: Commander leaderboard and Commander profile pages. Ever wanted to know who is the highest ranking commander? Which commander is played the most? We now have these answers.

This new features uses all data collected by our community and summarizes all the various stats for every commander ever played on Playgroup. Now there are some caveats, right now we still have a humble (but active) community so take all the data with a grain of salt. It's quite possible that the highest ranking commander is only played in one Playgroup skweing the results. The other fact is that in essence all data is self reported, so if you want you could just submit a bunch of fake games to further manipulate the results. As we increase the amount of games we track this data will automatically get more reliable, we will also work on making the leaderboards smarter by making changes to the algorithms that calculate the various rankings.

For now just enjoy, look up your favourite commander and see how your decks compare against the averages!
