All of the numbers are from mythic games played during the month of March. This includes the CSR through part of the shift towards Aggro Light, and the next wave of reports (after Death) will be even further condensed to highlight shifts in these numbers at a more granular level.
Speaking of, I don't think Leyhoard has been completely discounted by Magic players. While I fully expected Leyhoard's metrics to drop after the nerf, here are some preliminary numbers for mythic over the last 3-30 days:
| DAYS | Play Rate | Copies | Win Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Last 30 | 33.1% | 1.89 | 38.3% |
| Last 15 | 35.8% | 1.90 | 49.3% |
| Last 7 | 36.8% | 1.89 | 49.6% |
| Last 3 | 40.6% | 1.87 | 50.1% |
This is from "Card Rankings" for Leyhoard Hatchling on GU Decks, but the trend is clear: Magic players initially dumped the card before working it back in for slightly improved results.
The slightly positive win rate in this last Weekend Ranked is actually surprising given the entirety of the first page of cards played for Magic is filled with negative (<50%) win rates. . . except for Leyhoard Hatchling.
Out of curiousity, are you speaking as a Magic player or from your experience playing against Magic?
My take is that Leyhoard Hatchling is no longer a free deploy without appyling additional discounts, but it's still a 3/3 with Deal 4 for just 2 mana. That's like combining a better version of Starshard Bolt with Black Jaguar without paying extra. It takes a bit more patience to pull off, but the impact when played is solid.
