1. Amulet Titan — The most consistently positive record against both, sitting above 54% vs each. It's also a legitimate meta player (54% overall WR). Best all-around answer.

3. Boros Energy — The meta's most-played deck (13.75% presence, 51.3% WR). Beats Affinity cleanly at 56.5% and essentially splits with Prowess. Safe, powerful, widely-played.
📌 Recommendation: If you want to target both matchups simultaneously, Amulet Titan is your best bet. If you prefer the most tournament-proven safe option, Boros Energy has the matchup data to back it up.
