The first Champions-era habit is separating evidence from placeholders. Track the current ruleset, source, confidence label, date window, and whether the data is live or fixture/demo before drawing conclusions.

For teams, prioritize six-slot structure, role compression, speed control, support tools, and matchup plans. For meta trends, track usage movement only when the source actually covers the selected format.

Legacy Scarlet/Violet data can help frame questions, but it should not be treated as current Champions proof.
