The Top 10 Lands that made 2004 Champs Top 8

Card, Top 10 Position by Deck, Position Overall, Number of Copies, Number of Decks
Forest 1, 1, 2228, 203
Blinkmoth Nexus 2, 3, 656, 199
Great Furnace 3, 4, 703, 191
Seat of the Synod 4, 5, 716, 182
Vault of Whispers 5, 6, 678, 179
Glimmervoid 6, 15298, 136
Darksteel Citadel 7, 22299, 99
Mountain 8, 24919, 96
Island 9, 25837, 91
Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers 10,2788, 88

Josh’s Swamps fell behind not only these cards, but Tree of Tales, too! Can you believe that more decks ran Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers than basic Swamp?

BDM and I thought that there would be a six-way tie for the most popular cards in the Champs deck lists (Arcbound Worker, Arcbound Ravager, Disciple of the Vault, Frogmite, Seat of the Synod, and Vault of Whispers), but apparently we underrated the popularity of green. Forests led both in frequency and in the number of decks that played them; there were all kinds of green decks that did well, after all. Blinkmoth Nexus is of course played in decks from Vial Affinity to the one we are looking at today. The big surprise, though, is Great Furnace. It is many times played behind the other artifact lands in Vial Affinity decks… we forgot that Red Decks like the Great Furnace too, for their Shrapnel Blasts and Furnace Dragons.

土地の使用枚数のランキングです。
親和が有力なこともあって、アーティファクト・土地が軒並みランクインしています。もっとも、その手のデッキでは緑を必要としないので、《伝承の樹/Tree of Tales》はランクインしていません。

逆に、アンチ親和として有力なのは緑だったため、森はトップになっています。対称的で面白い結果です。

そして、『神河物語』からは、唯一《先祖の院、翁神社/Okina, Temple to the Grandfathers》がランクインしています。伝説の土地であるため4枚も積むことはありませんが、森の上位互換とも言えるので緑デッキならば必ず入っているためでしょう。
