Which Standard decks are polarizing? Answered with data

That’s seems to correlate strongly, but not perfectly. A few examples:

It’s not going to be perfect, of course, because exceptions must always exist.

@Scr0tieMcB-1291

Aggro Druid is one of the more polarizing decks at top Legend.

Yeah…but it’s #8. That’s not a strong player there.

@Scr0tieMcB-1291

• Quest Hunter is simultaneously one of the least polarizing decks in top Legend and one of the more polarizing in D10-5.
• Aggro Shadow Priest, des

Again…#9 and 8. It’s in the top 10, but it’s just an outlier.

Aggro Shadow Priest, despite being arguably the aggroiest aggro deck in the format, is somewhat polarizing.

Same thing here.

If you look at it as a whole, because you must remember that exceptions do exist, you notice the pattern of where aggro generally stands. It’s not polarizing overall. This is because aggro is consistent, and it’s why aggro almost always sits at top of the meta. The polarizing decks for the most part share a theme.

Despite the fact that aggro/face sits at top of the meta (Face Hunter #1 per VS, and Taunt Druid #3) it doesn’t correlate and sit at top of the polarizing charts. That’s a big sign. The decks that do sit at the top share a very common theme.

So, in another thread, where I said that the problem with playing Control priest in the meta is that matches are very polarized, it makes complete sense. OTK and Combo decks really wreck Priest. They always have. Priest is ok in a meta where a couple of these decks exist, but when 5/6/7/8+ of them exist, it’s a Priest killer.
