This week

Rakdos Delirium put five in the top 32 at RC South America, led by GLAM_ 12th on 7-1-1, MtgGreven 15th on 7-2-0 and Isael 17th on 7-2-0; the event was played on 24 October beside RC Sydney and was missing from last week's report. On MTGO it fell to 10.6% of the top 32 from 14.8%, on 46 finishes.

MTGO 10.6% of the top 32, from 14.8%, on 46 finishes in swiss-like tournaments. The median since the Modern bans is no finishes at all, and 40.5 over the four weeks behind this one: this is the deck's fifth week on MTGO. 18 trophies in the leagues, 9.6% of that field, from 37.
Conversion under its share. 8.0% of the top 8 against 10.6% of the top 32, on 9 top 8 finishes and 20 top 16 from 46 lists.
Build in the fortnight to 1 November, read against the fortnight to 18 October, across 156 lists Blood Moon changed boards, 71% to 35% of mainboards and 19% to 42% of sideboards. In the mainboard Polluted Delta climbed from 42% to 69% and Blazemire Verge appeared for the first time in 4 lists. In the sideboard Ob Nixilis, the Adversary climbed from 12% to 69%, End of the Hunt from 6% to 41% and Strategic Betrayal from 4% to 41%, while Ingot Chewer fell from 84% to 55%, Grafdigger's Cage from 79% to 47% and Surgical Extraction from 76% to 30%. Liliana of the Veil appeared there for the first time in 24 lists, Temple Trap in 15, and Abrade and Extract the Truth in 2 each.
RC South America (24 October) 39 of 400 lists, 9.8% of the field, 5 in the top 32 for a conversion of 1.60. It went 127-119-8 for 50.0% against the field's 48.0%, where RC South East Asia, a different room, was 7.1% of 183 with 3 in the cut and 58.0%.
Watchlist Unholy Heat from RC South America. It was in 3 of the deck's 9 sideboards in the top fifth of the field, against 6 of its 39 over the whole event, where no MTGO fortnight before the event had held it above 9%.

Three shares and three denominators, all of them that week's: the top 32 share is of every list the swiss-like tournaments published, the top 8 share of every list that placed top 8 in them, the trophy share of every league 5-0. So the columns are not shares of each other, and a top 8 count read against the top 32 denominator comes out several times too small.

Conversion is the deck's share of the top 32 over its share of the whole field, so above 1.00 it held more of the cut than of the room. Win rate counts match wins and losses as played, the top cut included, because points stop accruing at the cut and would score the event's winner below the Swiss leader. Pro Tour Amsterdam played two formats. The match record and win rate are the Modern rounds alone and stop at the Swiss, the top 8 there being a draft pod rather than a cut on these lists. The field share, top 32, conversion and best finish all come off a standing that carries the draft rounds too, which no arithmetic undoes.
