• Entries: 14 decks across 9 tournaments
• Results have been highly volatile week-to-week:

🃏 Core Maindeck (100% Presence)

Near-staples (92%+): Thoughtseize (4.0 avg), Ephemerate (2.85 avg)

🛡️ Sideboard Staples (100% Presence)

⚠️ Verdict

With a 41.7% winrate and very low meta share, Orzhov Blink is underperforming relative to the similar Jeskai Blink (51.1% WR, ~7% meta). The loss of Blue likely hurts consistency and access to key interactive tools. Sample size is small (48 matches), so take results with caution.
