Key Takeaways

  • Esper Blink & Tron are massive targets — Ponza does exactly what it's supposed to against mana-hungry decks
  • Fight Rigging Eldrazi is a brutal problem matchup (17%!), likely because they go under the land destruction with efficient threats
  • Amulet Titan & Dimir Frog are also rough — Titan rebuilds quickly, and Frog doesn't care much about land disruption
  • Ponza is a solid meta call if Esper Blink/Tron are prevalent in your local scene
