1 requestsStarted 10/14/2025, 9:17:20 PM
in a modern tournament consisting of 5 eldrazi tron , 3 amulet titan, 2 tameshi belcher, 6 boros energy, what deck should I bring to have the highest winrate

I'll analyze the matchup data for this specific tournament field to determine which deck would have the highest expected winrate against these archetypes.

Let me gather the matchup winrates for the major contenders against each of these decks:

Let me check some more archetypes that might be well-positioned:

Let me get more data to give you a comprehensive answer:

Based on the tournament data, I have limited matchup information for this specific field. The issue is that Eldrazi Tron and Tameshi Belcher have very little recorded matchup data in recent months, making it difficult to provide a data-backed recommendation.

However, from the available data:

Jeskai Control appears to be your best option:

Against the known matchups:

  • vs Boros Energy (6 players, 37.5% of field): 58.62% winrate (17-12)
  • vs Amulet Titan (3 players, 18.75% of field): 58.33% winrate (7-5)

Expected weighted winrate: ~58.5% against the tested portion of the field (56% of the tournament)

Other considerations:

  • Living End shows decent data against Amulet (56.41%) and neutral vs Boros Energy (50.33%), but lacks Eldrazi Tron data
  • Domain Zoo underperforms vs both Amulet Titan (39.79%) and Boros Energy (48.65%)
  • Most other archetypes have insufficient matchup data against these specific decks

Important caveat: I don't have sufficient data on Eldrazi Tron (5 players, 31% of field) or Tameshi Belcher matchups to make a fully confident recommendation. Control strategies typically struggle against Eldrazi Tron's threats, which could significantly impact the actual outcome.
