So I was looking at the top decks and realized one of my decks has a higher everything than half of them. How does the top decks work? Obviously it's not based on score, comments, or views.
Here's my deck that looks like it should be in the middle of the top decks.

YeaGo can correct me if I'm wrong, but my experience is that the top decks are all very recent decks. The deck you are referencing is from september, and the top decks today are all from the past few weeks. So I'm guessing that it has something to do with the time it has been on the site.
However, my deck, Temperfect, got a score of 11 within a week of its birth, and was never on the top decks, which discredits my theory. But this is the best idea I can come up with.

It is true.
I'm open to changing this behavior. The reason that decks greater than 10 days old aren't eligible is to make sure that content is fresh--that said a deck could be private for 20 days and then opened to the public and become wildly popular, and then miss out on being in the Tops, so I understand the drawbacks.
Still, we can't have decks dominating the Tops all the time now can we?

not to make this more complicated than it should be but instead of making older decks purely ineligible maybe you could make it so older decks just have a harder time making rank in the top decks. Perhaps the time frame should be based on each release of cards, or rotation of standard.

Or perhaps putting up a completely different link and set multiple different "Top Decks." Such as one for Standard, One for Legacy, Mordern, Commander/EDH, etc. Just a thought.

I changed this so its based on votes in the last two weeks.
