About the meta cards
The play rate of a card is the share of the 1,365 complete decklists of the Vendetta after the bans format, from 13 tournaments, that run at least one copy of it in the main deck, in the champion slot, as the Legend or among the battlefields. Every printing of a card counts as one card, so an alternate art or an overnumbered copy ranks with the regular one. The sideboard rate is the share of decklists that keep the card in the sideboard instead, which never counts towards the play rate. The win rate is the share of the matches won by the decklists that run the card, counting every match their players played at the tournament, a draw counting as half a win.
The price is what one copy of the card's regular printing sells for on TCGplayer, as the card list shows it; the marketplace is chosen beside any card's price.
The card list sorts every card by how often it is played, and a card's own page shows its play rate among its facts.
