Here's how things stood at the time:
November 14, 2012
Guild | Points | Members | Points per Member |
Izzet | 1,196,440 | 10,234 | 116.91 |
Azorius | 1,062,519 | 8,564 | 124.07 |
Dimir | 716,918 | 6,489 | 110.48 |
Simic | 687,281 | 5,195 | 132.30 |
Golgari | 573,337 | 6,687 | 85.74 |
Selesnya | 426,569 | 5,637 | 75.67 |
Boros | 409,609 | 4,324 | 94.73 |
Orzhov | 379,854 | 3,573 | 106.31 |
Rakdos | 367,086 | 4,511 | 81.38 |
Gruul | 205,447 | 1,726 | 119.03 |
As we discussed at the time, Izzet has the most points, but that's probably because they have the most members. On a points-per-member basis, Izzet is behind Simic, Azorius, and even Gruul!
So let's check in again and see how everyone's doing. This race is far from over!
November 30, 2012
Guild | Points | Members | Points per Member |
Izzet | 1,437,914 | 10,679 | 134.65 |
Azorius | 1,303,014 | 9,075 | 143.58 |
Dimir | 881,329 | 7,004 | 125.83 |
Simic | 837,130 | 5,676 | 147.49 |
Golgari | 688,564 | 6,951 | 99.06 |
Selesnya | 524,071 | 5,930 | 88.38 |
Boros | 501,699 | 4,682 | 107.15 |
Orzhov | 475,963 | 3,904 | 121.92 |
Rakdos | 454,879 | 4,775 | 95.26 |
Gruul | 262,272 | 1,933 | 135.68 |
So what's changed? Well, each guild has some new members! Here's how that breaks down:
Guild | New Members |
Dimir | 515 |
Azorius | 511 |
Simic | 481 |
Izzet | 445 |
Boros | 358 |
Orzhov | 331 |
Selesnya | 293 |
Golgari | 264 |
Rakdos | 264 |
Gruul | 207 |
Izzet is still on top, but it's not pulling in the most new members! So its victory is not at all assured. If you haven't joined a guild at Planeswalker Points, you could be all that stands between your guild and victory!
But the actual metric is "total points." Let's see who's gotten points in the last two weeks!
Guild | New Points |
Izzet | 241,474 |
Azorius | 240,495 |
Dimir | 164,411 |
Simic | 149,849 |
Golgari | 115,227 |
Selesnya | 97,502 |
Orzhov | 96,109 |
Boros | 92,090 |
Rakdos | 87,793 |
Gruul | 56,825 |
Well... Izzet got the most. There's not a lot of drama there. But Azorius is right behind! Part of that is because Izzet didn't have any Grand Prix winners in the last two weeks, while Azorius had one:
Grand Prix Bochum: Martin Juza (Simic)
Grand Prix Taipei: Makihito Mihara (Azorius)
That's one win for Simic and one win for Azorius, which matches up well with their excellent points-per-member numbers. If you're thinking about winning a Grand Prix in the near future, make sure you've chosen your guild at Planeswalker Points!
