I don't see any Excruciator archetypes in the top 20 by presence. Let me search more broadly for any Excruciator variants:
Now let me get the match data to calculate presence and overall winrate:
Excruciator archetypes combined for a very small 0.76% meta presence in Standard over the last two weeks, with 24 total entries across 122 matches. The deck shows a solid 53.78% winrate when excluding draws (64-55-3 record).
The archetype is almost entirely Dimir Excruciator (23 entries), with only a single Sultai Excruciator entry that went 0-1. Despite the low representation, Dimir Excruciator is performing respectably above the 50% threshold, suggesting it may be a viable fringe choice in the current meta dominated by Simic Cub (13.52%), Izzet Lessons (12.90%), and Reanimator (11.35%).
