Introducing Archetype Pages

ShufflePhase now has a dedicated page for every deck archetype we track, across every game on the site. If you want to know what Dragapult is playing right now, how a Shadowverse class is trending, or which decks are putting up results, there's now one place to look it up.

You can find them all under Archetypes in the top navigation. The index lists each game, and from there you get the archetypes for that game ranked by meta share, with a quick toggle to sort by how many decks we have on file instead. Pick one, and you land on its own page. Right now, we only support Pokémon TCG, Pocket, and Shadowverse: Worlds Beyond, but more will come soon.

Each archetype page gathers together the things you'd otherwise have to look for: how its meta share has moved over recent weeks, its most recent tournament results, a handful of sample decklists, and a card usage breakdown showing which cards show up in the most lists and how many copies they tend to run. Where a deck only has data from our own tournament database rather than a published snapshot, you'll see a current standing instead of a trend line.

A note on the numbers: for Pokémon, the meta-share data comes from Limitless’ online tournaments, and the pages say so. It's a great read on what's being played, but it isn't a stand-in for in-person Regionals and Internationals, so we label it clearly rather than letting it pass for the live event field. For Shadowverse, right now we'll treat each class as its own archetype. Later, once we have more data, we'll split it actual archetype, e.g., Evo Forest.

The pages fill themselves in automatically as decks get tagged and snapshots roll in, so they'll only get richer over time. Go poke around the archetypes for your game!
