I wish someone would go through all the VS reports for standard and filter by all ranks and note the top class at the top of the meta with the best deck.
I’m willing to bet you that if you did that, for all 199 reports (I actually think you have to skip the first 5 or so because they didn’t have that data back then), but you do that for all the reports you will end up with a massively skewed data where you see paladin/hunter/warrior/shaman on top in nearly every single report and just note where you see priest and mage.
The report would be absolutely hilarious and would really spark some hate on this forum. Imagine if the report looked like:
Number of reports at #1
Paladin 37
Hunter 36
Warrior 32
Shaman 28
Rogue 28
Warlock 15
Druid 5
Priest 0
Mage 0
Imagine how much people would freak out if they saw the real stats
