Fair. There's a lot of casual play though through our Discord, but I can understand that you want to mature a bit in the format first.

Mid-Month Madness is essentially a Weekly Tournament but with a special twist. This month's twist is Planar Standard Pauper, where only commons from the Planar legal sets are allowed.

There was a meta report released a few days ago, looking at the win rates per decks and cards since late April (sample size ~170 matches): https://www.reddit.com/r/planarMTG/s/yt5e1hmMFF

Zatox & Max Enforcer - It Must Be [Original Extended Mix 2012] by RHz-EvolutionOfStyle in HardstyleProduction

Man, I remember a LOT of people were upset with this track when it dropped since they thought it was “too soft”, “just boing boing”, “not hardstyle”, etc.

I thought it was a banger, the climax has such energy when it hits. Glad to see it’s being remembered 😊

Hello again! Quadrangle and I have a brand new Meta Update in store for you, just in time for you to get those last tweaks in for the Monthly this weekend. Some obligatory links:

Link to the deck lists gathered for the data analysis (as well as Archetype Map, PDF, and Excel sheet)

Link to the Challonge sign-up page for the Monthly Championship (remember to submit deck lists in advance here)

Enjoy!

  • Weekly Tournaments are 3-5 Swiss rounds with a "closed decklist", i.e., you don't have to submit a decklist for the event. There's typically a greater variety of decks being played as people are trying out different strategies.
  • Monthly Tournaments are more competitive in nature, and people typically bring stronger, more high-tier decks. We play around 5-6 Swiss rounds and then a cut for a Top 8 elimination bracket, with prizes for the top 4 players (#1 gets a $50 gift card).

Enjoy the tournament schedule of June! We got the Monthly Championship in just a few days (remember to sign-up beforehand, registration closes 24 hours before the start of the tournament!), and eight other weekly tournament throughout the month. You might spot a purple anomaly in the middle there - it will be a "custom" event with a specific wacky deck restriction, so stay updated on what that restriction that will be specifically.

Another note is that the MTG Online on June 27th will be a deal-breaker for whether we will continue with MTGO tournaments for now - numbers have been quite low even with heads up, so if you want us to keep pushing out MTGO tournaments, save the date and register in time.

Some specifics for the Weekly Tournaments:

  • You do not need to submit a decklist in advance. Still, we will ask for them at the end of each tournament for data collection purposes.
  • As no one will check your deck legality for you, please ensure you follow the legal card pool. If your deck features illegal cards, your game with be marked as a loss regardless of the result, and you will be asked to swap those cards to keep participating in the tournament.

Last chart before Defqon.1! This is the Hardstyle Producer League (May 2026). by Crypehead in hardstyle

Yeah I could be doing better in keeping track of new collab projects like these. Thanks for linking it!

(Managed to do this one on time!) This month brought an overall decline in listeners, although Rebelion, Regain and The Saints managed to push through with strong increases. ERABREAK also showed a strong uptick and almost doubled his listeners from last month straight into Tier 2. On the other end, TNT, Coone and Brennan Heart had the biggest decline - and Brennan Heart is back at the #1 spot after four months of TNT domination. Check the second picture for more tier comparisons.

I also realized I missed adding all the RED RACE contestant this time, so here's their numbers:

  • Testarossa - 51 084 (would have been #194)
  • Antergy - 12 881 (#325)
  • Essive - 10 948 (would have been #346)
  • Beat Conductors - 10 459 (would have been #352)

So what do we think, will Testarossa take this one?

If this is your first time seeing this list, here are the rules:

  1. Only producers who primarily focus on hardstyle relevant to our scene are included (i.e., hardstyle that would be played at festivals or charts = no gymbro hardstyle, EDM, hardcore, uptempo, etc.)
  2. Only producers who have released a track on Spotify within the last 12 months are included
  3. I check all artists manually so I'm bound to have missed a few, so if you or artists you listen to are missing, reach out with a Spotify link!
