I'll analyze Esper Blink's performance in Modern over the last 60 days, comparing winrates with and without Psychic Frog.
I notice the archetype overview returned Legacy format data. Let me search for Esper Blink in Modern format specifically.
Now let me analyze Esper Blink's performance with and without Psychic Frog over the last 60 days in Modern.
Over the last 60 days in Modern, Esper Blink shows a modest performance difference with and without Psychic Frog. Decks without Psychic Frog performed slightly better with a 51.8% winrate (353-328 record across 165 entries) compared to lists running the card at 49.2% (264-273 record across 117 entries).
This 2.6 percentage point difference suggests that Psychic Frog may not be providing the expected value in Esper Blink builds. The sample includes 282 total tournament entries, with roughly 58% of pilots choosing to omit the card. The relatively close winrate spread indicates both versions are viable, though the traditional builds without Psychic Frog have shown marginally better results.
The data represents competitive play across multiple tournaments, with lists both with and without the Modern Horizons 3 addition being actively tested by the community.
