When you think about collectible card games, I bet Magic The Gathering is the one that pops into your mind first. This old old card game is really amazing. People all over the world spend millions of dollars on it and countless hours sitting in front of the table trying to fight imaginary battles. It was invented by a mathematician originally. That's why the complicated dynamic between cards and the rules work like magic and creates the most fascinating trading card game ever.
The 2009 Magic The Gathering World Championships has ended in glory. People from all over the world came the arena to fight for the crazy title of the best Magic player in the world. This year the a mysterious team from China won the World Team Championship. The team members are Bo Li, Wu Tong and Zhiyang Zhang. The champion goes to Andre Coimbra. We have done some statistics to look into how these guys beat all other opponents and get the honor. And we can learn something from the stats and make it our advantages.
During the four days tournament, players have to participate in hundreds of games in various formats. In fact, they have to train up for at least three different kinds in order to survive all the battles. Just the endurance it requires is spectacular enough to be given standing ovations. I personally would not have entered the game for some applause. Well, I guess the winners do get some kinds of material rewards.
On Day one of the tournament, standard playing is used. In this game play, the Jund deck is the most remarkable one. It is the most frequently used deck and it has an outstanding winning rate of around 53%. Although according to statistics Jund was not the most accurate deck, but the amount of matches that people won using Jund is jaw-dropping. It was 729 matches! And the highest winning ratio deck was the Turbo-Fog Deck which was not used by many people. It only happened less than 20 times which were all from 2 players.
After concluding all the data, we think the Green-White Aggro deserves the best deck award. The Green-White Aggro deck is used in almost one hundred matches. And almost fifty matches were won. The winning percentage is a little above that of the Jund deck.
Magic The Gathering is a fun game to play. But you decide whether you would like to spend the time and effort to make yourself so good at it that you can compete for the world championship. - 31879
