Methodology

The 0.34 Tournament had 1326 winning games by 412 players. Their morgue files were used to gather these statistics. Statistics were gathered both for the number of times a spell was cast and the number of games the spell was cast in. A further breakdown into early, middle and late game usage is provided to see how starting spells held up and which spells were sought after.

Casting vs. Non-Casting

A tournament with specific goals can skew the use of spells in a game. Speedruns, aiming for time, will most likely ignore all forms of spellcasting. Meanwhile, those going for a high score would want to pick spells which are near game-breaking. So, for comparison, here are some statistics on the 0.34 Tournament results.
