Dimir Looting and Izzet Cutter lead their formats in the cross-format Power Rankings
Standard and Modern both show clear frontrunners atop their Power Rankings on June 16, while Legacy produces a rare dead-heat tie at second place.
Standard's Dimir Looting and Modern's Izzet Cutter each claim the number-one spot on their respective Power Ranking boards, both in S Tier — and the spread from first to third in each format tells different stories about how settled those metas are. Across all six formats tracked today, every top-three board features at least one A Tier archetype except Standard, which places all three of its leaders in S Tier.
Standard
Dimir Looting leads the Standard Power Ranking at a Power Score of 29.9 (S Tier), Jeskai Lessons is second at 27.2 (S Tier), and Temur Prowess is third at 25.9 (S Tier). All three archetypes occupying S Tier is a pattern that separates Standard from every other format tracked today.
Standard Power Ranking top 3
VitorCarvalho01 leads Standard players in form, posting 10 top 8s from 17 events in the rolling 30-day window. ShadowTitan1 follows with 9 top 8s from 13 events, and itstime rounds out the tracked group at 6 top 8s from 19 events — one of the busiest schedules among all players tracked across formats today.
Vintage
Doomsday leads the Vintage Power Ranking at a Power Score of 25.4 (S Tier). PO sits second at 21.2 (A Tier) and Lurrus Breach is third at 21.0 (A Tier). The gap from Doomsday down to the A Tier pair gives Vintage a clear two-tier structure at the top of the board.
Legacy
Death & Taxes holds first on the Legacy Power Ranking at a Power Score of 23.7 (A Tier). Azorius Midrange and Grixis Reanimator are deadlocked in second place, each at a Power Score of 23.1 (A Tier). A tie between a midrange tempo strategy and a graveyard combo strategy at the same score is the standout structural detail on the Legacy board this week.
Modern
Izzet Cutter leads the Modern Power Ranking at a Power Score of 29.8 (S Tier), with Mardu Energy in second at 26.3 (S Tier) and Jund Titan third at 23.8 (A Tier).
Modern Power Ranking top 3
GWT is the Modern player in sharpest form, converting 11 top 8s from 17 events in the rolling 30-day window — the highest top 8 count of any player tracked across formats today.
Pauper
Grixis Faeries leads the Pauper Power Ranking at 26.4 (S Tier), with Mono Blue Faeries second at 24.4 (A Tier) and Golgari Garden third at 23.6 (A Tier). Two Faeries archetypes at the top of the board underlines how thoroughly the tribe has shaped Pauper's upper tier.

Premodern
Selesnya Enchantress tops the Premodern Power Ranking at 23.9 (A Tier), Stiflenought is second at 22.4 (A Tier), and Azorius Landstill is third at 20.1 (A Tier). LuffyDoChapeuDePalha leads Premodern players in form, reaching 11 top 8s from 21 events in the rolling 30-day window.
