📌 Key Takeaways

  • Affinity is the hard counter — 16.1% is an absolute disaster. Artifact-based strategies punish Belcher badly.
  • Combo mirrors are its playground: crushes Ruby Storm, Neobrand, Goryo Reanimator, and Living End — likely due to Floodmaw's disruption + speed.
  • Boros Energy (the format's #1 deck) is actually a slight positive matchup at 54.4% over 79 matches — solid news.
  • Prowess and Domain Zoo (fast aggro) are rough — if you can't combo off quickly, you lose.
