How to read this report
Tournament sources generally publish the top finishers and their decks, not every individual battle. “Usage” therefore means the share of reported top-cut decks containing a part. “1st rate” means how often an appearance in that reported top cut finished 1st. A “mover” is the change in that usage share between July and August, written in percentage points. This is evidence about the competitive field, not a guarantee that one build wins a particular matchup.
August is closed and this report is final: it covers the whole month, and the numbers above will only move if a late result is added to a August event. For September and beyond, follow the live combo rankings, where every ranking can be filtered by region, ruleset and format.
