I can see "Goryo Reanimator" in the meta report. Let me get its overview and pull winrate data for both archetypes.
Here is the data-backed comparison for @motow in Modern over the last ~60 days:
Living End has the edge by winrate. It sits at 53.2% (mirror-excluded) over 372 matches since March 1, compared to Goryo Reanimator's (the Esper version) exactly 50.0% over 528 matches in the same window. Both archetypes occupy roughly similar meta presence, though Living End is slightly smaller in raw entries (89 vs 123 over the past two months).
In terms of trajectory, Goryo Reanimator has been surging very recently. The last two weeks show winrates of 67.9% and 62.5%, and its presence jumped to 6.8% of the field in the week of April 20-26. Living End's recent weeks have been more volatile, dipping to 33% the week of April 20-26 on a small sample. So if the trend matters to you, Goryo Reanimator looks hot right now, even if Living End has the better overall average for the period.
Bottom line: Living End has been more consistently above 50% across the full window, making it the safer pick on aggregate data. But Goryo Reanimator is showing strong momentum in the last two weeks and is worth watching closely.
