ClaudeAnalyst notesfrom these stats · 2026-11-05
  • Ob Nixilis is the fastest riser locally (+2.1 pts) and top cuts 44.4% of the time. Jeff is the group's only pilot, so the deck itself is not his problem.
  • Rograkh/Thrasios has climbed level with Kraum/Tymna at 7.6% share and converts 40.0% to top cut. Ishmael carries it, and the group should see it more often in practice.
  • Rograkh/Silas Renn is up 1.3 pts with nobody in the group playing it. That leaves a blind spot, especially for Ryan, who is 0/4 against it.
  • Crystal (60.0% top cut on 5 entries) and Ishai/Rograkh (38.5% win rate on 3 entries) look strong. Both samples are tiny, so treat them as early signs only.

Not in the group (top 12): Rograkh/Silas Renn, Vivi Ornitier, Crystal, Nick Fury, Magda, Dack Fayden

The group's strongest form: 8-10-4 (36.4%) with 3 top cuts in 6 events, and Sisay won 2 of the last 4 practice games. Seat 3 (3/6) and seat 1 (5/12) are great, while seat 2 lags at 1/8. Arcum Dagsson is an early-sign weakness at 0/3.

Only one event (1-1-2, top cut), so most of the read comes from seats. Seat 2 is 0/6 and seat 3 is 0/3, while seat 1 is 2/2. Kraum/Tymna into Sisay is an early sign of strength, and he won the latest practice game from seat 1.
