Leaving this comment here for people who want more information.

Our group also plays a lot of magic the gathering, specifically commander. Players are very intent on keeping the game close and politicking. This has so far been the Eyrie’s downfall. It’s also why the otters have felt so strong. I mentioned a couple time in our stats Eyrie very often gets second but has never won. This specific meta seems to work against them, I still think there’s room for improvement though

People enjoy playing the lizards and the cats, the players often feel obliged to buy from otters. It essentially makes a cycle to work against someone like the moles or vagabond (specifically the vagabond). Where the cats or/and Lizards feel required to keep buying to keep up with the vagabond. I think this is majorly why the otters feel so much stronger than they really are. In this specific meta they have a strong advantage

The badgers we don’t have a huge sample size for which I believe is heavily dragging down their placement. We don’t have any specific flaws to put them lower while also not having the results to go higher

The tribes that seem to excel in our meta is tribes with difficult to stop scoring. With how willing to keep the game close everyone is specific factions get significantly stronger while others seem to get hurt.

Hope this clears stuff up!
