I'll analyze the performance of Izzet Elementals based on the number of Eddymurk Crab copies played.
Now let me query the database to break down winrate by number of Eddymurk Crab copies:
Based on recent Standard tournament data, Izzet Elementals shows a notable performance difference based on Eddymurk Crab adoption. Across 40 entries in the last 60 days, the archetype splits into two distinct configurations: lists running 0 copies posted a 58.3% winrate (42-30 record across 13 entries), while lists running the full playset of 4 copies achieved a 65.3% winrate (130-69 across 27 entries). That's a 7-percentage-point difference favoring the 4-copy version.
Interestingly, the data shows no middle ground - pilots are either skipping Eddymurk Crab entirely or committing to the full four copies. The 4-copy lists represent two-thirds of all Izzet Elementals entries, suggesting the card has become a defining element of the optimized build. The flash threat that costs less based on graveyard instants/sorceries appears to meaningfully improve the deck's ability to close games while maintaining tempo.
