Let me pull up the data on Goryo's Reanimator across several dimensions simultaneously!
The meta report shows "goryo reanimator" â let me resolve the archetype properly and get trends + winrate.
Now let me grab the archetype cards and sources:
Here's the full breakdown of Goryo's Reanimator in the current Modern meta:
The deck has been consistently present at ~4â6% meta share, with a recent uptick to 5.07% in the past week. Winrates have been volatile:
| Week | Presence | Winrate |
|---|---|---|
| Apr 13 | 3.6% | ðĒ 67.9% |
| Apr 27 | 5.3% | ðĄ 54.6% |
| May 25 | 5.5% | ðī 47.3% |
| Jun 1â7 | 5.1% | ðĄ 52.1% |
Performance has regressed from its April highs and settled around 50%, suggesting the meta is adapting to it.
| Card | Presence | Avg Copies |
|---|---|---|
| Goryo's Vengeance | 100% | 4.0 |
| Atraxa, Grand Unifier | 98% | 3.9 |
| Griselbrand | 97% | 1.2 |
| Psychic Frog | 96% | 4.0 |
| Force of Negation | 95% | 2.5 |
| Ephemerate | 93% | 3.9 |
| Solitude | 93% | 3.8 |
| Faithful Mending | 93% | 2.8 |
The deck is running a reanimator + blink shell â notably splashing the Evoke package (Ephemerate + Solitude) and Psychic Frog as a discard outlet and threat.
Goryo's Reanimator is a legitimate Tier 2 archetype with solid representation (4th most-played in Modern) but is performing near the 50% breakeven line. It was stronger in April and has since seen more resistance â likely from increased sideboard hate.
