Strixhaven, and in particular the Mystical Archive, has shaken up the Historic format. To understand what the new metagame looks like, I performed a Historic metagame analysis on all deck lists that were played on MTG Melee from Monday, April 19 up to and including Sunday, May 9. This encompasses the last three weeks of events. Or, to put it another way, it doesn’t include the very first weekend Strixhaven was legal on Magic Arena, but it includes everything after. In total, I analyzed 1912 decks and 4335 matches.
