So the past eight months my brother and I have been running the AZMagicPlayers.com 2014 Legacy Series. We required decklists and logged the metagame and posted Top 8 (or Top 16 decklists if it was 40+ players) on http://azmagicplayers.tumblr.com.
I created this infographic to display some of the data we've seen over the past eight months. There's always talk about Legacy regional metagames, so I think this is a pretty cool insight into one of the regional metagames!

This was fantastic, thanks!
Thanks for the stats!!!
As someone who will fap at data, i thank you greatly.
and its visualized, even more amazing.
"Brainstorm and Fetchlands are interesting although I don't know if Brainstorms alone are worth it right now, because Stifle is a common card. " -Peddi 2015.
From now on, we want all tournament data in the entire world, ever produced, analyzed by you.
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
I really like such stuff!

Yeah, the guy in Arizona can do it but SCG and WotC wearing the $4,000 suits can't. COME ON!
Beautiful infographics. I'm rather impressed at the heavy representation of Burn and Death & Taxes.
Thank you very interesting data and very well put together.

Hey Jason, good work!
I'm curious how you mechanically put together the values. I have about 6-8 KW tournament data I want to condense for meaning, and it's a P.I.T.A. to parse.

Nothing special. I just logged an Excel sheet with the Player Name, Deck Name, Event, and if it Top 8'd or not. All the data is basically from there (except for the color representation, which is literally just noting what colors each deck has without concerns to weight). From there it's basically a bunch of pivot tables to get the data.
It was a lot easier when I did it month by month so it wasn't all one big session of typing out names and decks :P

The graph and stat compiled are most likely representative of the meta-game in AZ, does it translate well into the SCG circuit?
Also, which pro-tour Magic players actually live in AZ? do Nevada people count? Most on-camera players seem to come for the 2 coasts.
What do you mean translate? We've had some good representation from AZ at SCG Opens (3 SCG Open Champions & people with multiple SCG Top 8s), despite the fact the closest SCG Opens are minimum 5 hours away.
Paul Rietzl technically lives in AZ but I've never seen him at any events. Adam Prosak resided in AZ before moving to Ohio and then going to R&D, though I don't think he ever identified himself as a "pro".
