Blue Belcher winrate using 2-3 copies of floodmaw main deck vs top 20

Let me start by finding the Blue Belcher archetype and the Floodmaw card simultaneously.

The "Floodmaw" search returned "Into the Flood Maw" β€” let me double-check what card is actually in Blue Belcher with that name. Let me pull the archetype's main deck cards to verify the right card, and also search more specifically.

πŸ› οΈGet Archetype Cards

The card is confirmed as Into the Flood Maw (card_id: 5fec289f-d738-4feb-b0c2-2158ba0ece3a). Now let me run the W/L/D split for Blue Belcher entries with 2–3 copies of Into the Flood Maw in the maindeck vs. the top 20 archetypes.

πŸ› οΈGet Meta Report

Now I have the top 20 archetypes. Let me run the custom matchup query for Blue Belcher entries with exactly 2–3 Into the Flood Maw in the maindeck vs each of those archetypes.

πŸ› οΈQueryBelcher Decks with Two to Three Floodmaw Copies

I need to get the actual archetype IDs for the top 20. Let me query them directly from the database.

All 20 IDs retrieved. Now let me run the full matchup query for Blue Belcher with 2–3 Flood Maw copies vs each opponent archetype.

The JOIN logic may have an issue with the opponent entry lookup. Let me simplify the query with a direct join.

Zeroes across the board suggests the floodmaw_counts CTE is returning no entries. Let me verify whether the card_id is correct and what entries exist.

πŸ› οΈQueryCard copies across decks and entries
πŸ› οΈQueryCard copies and deck entries by board

The card exists in the database. Now let me check how many Blue Belcher entries in the date range have 2–3 copies of this card in the main deck.

52 entries with 2–3 copies. The issue is likely with how matches.entry_id links β€” let me check the match schema.
