😬 Bad Matchups

OpponentWRMatches

🔴 Azorius Control34.5%29
🟠 Living End36.0%25
🟠 Ruby Storm43.1%72
🟠 Amulet Titan43.9%41

Goryo Reanimator is the biggest problem — a 30% winrate is rough. The combo decks in general (Goryo, Living End, Ruby Storm, Amulet) highlight a clear weakness: Jeskai Blink is a fair deck that struggles to race fast unfair strategies before it can set up. Azorius Control is also a tough grind, at just 34.5%.


⚖️ Roughly Even Matchups

Boros Energy57.1%210

Jeskai Blink smashes fair creature decks and midrange, and has a nice edge on the #1 meta deck, Boros Energy.


Summary: Jeskai Blink's main weaknesses are fast combo decks (Goryo Reanimator, Living End, Ruby Storm) and Azorius Control. Its game plan of incremental value through blink effects is too slow to disrupt combo and too fair to out-grind pure control.
