Mage Stats
I analyzed all arena decks where users chose Mage and entered in all 30 cards in Arena Mastery from inception to September 2.There were 16431 total decks, of which 600 went 12 wins.
I then looked at which cards were in the 12 win decks and how often they appeared compared to the general population. The cards which appeared in the 12 win decks are listed below.
Note: Naxxramas has only been released for a small portion of this time, so the numbers for Naxxramas will be skewed as a result.
| 12 win count: | The raw number of times this card appeared |
| Frequency: | On average, how many of that card were in a 12 win deck |
| All Frequency: | On average, how many of that card were in all decks |
| Difference: | The difference between how often a card appeared in a 12 win deck vs all decks |
