Been meaning to do this for a while, and this seems like a good time to start.
Basically, this is an idea for a monthly "Power Rankings" for individual cards in Standard, as determined by the prevalence of individual cards in the Top 8 of major tournaments (defined as 3-star and higher on MTGTop8). I intend to do a four month weighted cycle, but for this debut issue, its only three, so covering tournaments for December, November, and October.
All in all, 212 different nonland cards made top 8s in the last 3 months. Here's the Top 50, along with the Top 10 nonbasic lands.

I haven't been in the game for a while, and wanted to read this thread so I added card tags to know what some of these cards do. Apologies for lacking content.
