Now let me get sources for context:

Dimir Midrange in Standard shows a clear performance difference between the two one-drop options. Spyglass Siren builds are the overwhelming favorite with 2,645 entries achieving a 50.9% winrate, while Flitterwing Nuisance builds have only 64 entries at 48.9% winrate. The data heavily supports Spyglass Siren as the superior choice.

Looking at matchup spreads, Spyglass builds show better consistency across the field. Against Izzet Cauldron, the format's most-played matchup, Spyglass posts 41.8% across 2,122 matches. Against Jeskai Control and Azorius Control, Spyglass performs excellently at 61.2% and 60.7% respectively. The card enables stronger control matchups and holds steady against aggro (50.6% versus Mono Red Aggro across 1,573 matches).

Flitterwing Nuisance builds have limited data but show some interesting spikes: 60.8% against Izzet Lessons and 61.9% against Reanimator. However, they struggle badly against Jeskai Control at 30.8% and underperform against Simic Cub at 43.9%. The sample size difference is massive - Spyglass has 40x more entries, making it the established, proven choice. Flitterwing appears to be an experimental option that hasn't gained traction.
