Bronze Comments
Furious Chicken is top of the list, but the new Modern league will not include it. The top Modern card on the list is Unicorn Mustang. The top legend on the list is Djinn Oshannus.
The biggest surprise on the list for me is Chaos Agent - it is obviously very versatile even in Bronze.

Yes, Furious Chicken again. Mustang again. Goblin Psychic moves up the list with a few extra levels. Mushroom Seer disappears. Chaos Agent is still here.
The biggest surprise on the list is Regal Peryton as the 5th most popular winning card. It drops off the next list at Gold though.

Chicken, yes. Oshannus does not tail off here. Doctor Blight gaining prominence. Uraeus is very high up. Venari Wavesmith is an almost constant feature.
The biggest surprise on the list is Creeping Ooze in second place. It has its peak power in Gold, it seems.

Gold and Diamond Comments
Furious Chicken - top again. Doctor Blight in second. Failed Summoner reaches its peak at maximum level. Tower Griffin too. Naga Assassin also best at max.
The biggest surprise in the list is Fungus Fiend, but it's a strong indicator of how powerful green is at the top.
The Logical Conclusion
Buy all the above cards at max. Just joking. The first and most obvious conclusion is that in the current meta, and if you plan to play in the upcoming Wild league, it is a great idea to have a Furious Chicken. The same applies to a Creeping Ooze.
Failed Summoner, Khmer Princess and Uraeus are examples of those on all four lists. Venari Wavesmith stands out on the Bronze, Silver and Gold lists.
The Method
