I'll check for these Esper archetypes. "Goryo's" typically appears in Modern, so let me search both archetype names there:
Great! I found both archetypes in Modern - "Esper Blink" and "Goryo Reanimator". Let me check the matchup data:
Esper Blink holds a strong advantage over Goryo Reanimator in Modern, winning 75% of matches based on 12 recorded games over the last 60 days (9 wins, 3 losses, 0 draws). This is a decisive edge for the blink deck.
The matchup makes sense from an archetype perspective: Esper Blink runs disruptive elements like Teferi, Time Raveler and Solitude, both of which can interfere with Goryo's Vengeance reanimation strategies. The blink deck's ability to generate value through recursive creature effects while disrupting combo timing creates a challenging environment for the reanimator to execute its game plan.
While the sample size is modest at 12 matches, the 75% winrate represents a clear pattern favoring Esper Blink. Both decks occupy similar meta shares (Esper Blink at 2.16% presence, Goryo Reanimator at 2.47%), so this data reflects real competitive play rather than statistical noise.
