Hey @Ollie_W12, here is the breakdown for Dimir Midrange in Standard over the last 30 days.

Overall winrate (mirror excluded): 48.7% across 314 matches. The deck sits at 8.1% meta presence, making it the third most-played archetype, but it is currently performing slightly below the break-even point. The meta is being shaped heavily by Mono Green Landfall (54.2% winrate, 16.5% presence) and Izzet Spellementals (56.4% winrate, 10.5% presence), which makes life tough for Dimir Midrange across the board.

Matchup breakdown vs the top archetypes:

  • vs Dimir Excruciator: 66.7% (16-8, 24 matches) - BEST matchup, very favourable
  • vs Jeskai Control: 50.0% (6-6, 12 matches) - Even
  • vs Lifegain: 50.0% (10-10, 20 matches) - Even
  • vs Mardu Discard: 42.1% (8-11, 19 matches) - Slightly unfavourable
  • vs Izzet Spellementals: 40.4% (21-31, 52 matches) - Unfavourable
  • vs Izzet Prowess: 40.0% (2-3, 5 matches) - Small sample, leaning unfavourable
  • vs Mono Green Landfall: 38.2% (26-42, 68 matches) - WORST matchup, clearly unfavourable

The clearest takeaway: Dimir Midrange preys on the other Dimir shell (Excruciator) but struggles badly against the two best-performing decks in the format. Until Mono Green Landfall and Izzet Spellementals cool off, Dimir Midrange will have a tough time posting strong results.
