πŸ“Š Key Takeaways

  • Best matchup: Boros Energy (63.2%) β€” great news since it's the #1 deck in the meta
  • Worst matchup: Tron (32.1%) β€” a significant liability; big mana goes over the top
  • Affinity (9% meta share) is also a real problem matchup at 42.1%
  • Punishes slower interactive decks (UW Control, Storm, Yawgmoth) effectively
  • Both Reanimator variants (Goryo + Grixis) are soft spots β€” combo that survives burn is a challenge
