Now let me pull matchup winrates against the top archetypes in the meta simultaneously.

Here is the full breakdown for Grixis Reanimator in Modern over the last 60 days (Feb 27 - Apr 28, 2026):

OVERALL WINRATE
Grixis Reanimator sits at 46.8% (95W-108L, mirror excluded) across 205 matches and 485 entries in 25 events. This puts it slightly below the break-even mark, making it a fringe-to-mid tier option in the current meta rather than a dominant force.

MATCHUP SPREAD (vs. top meta archetypes)
Favorable matchups:

  • vs. Boros Energy: 64.9% (24-13, 37 matches) — clear positive, the most played deck in the format
  • vs. Prowess: 57.1% (4-3, 7 matches — small sample)
  • vs. Domain Zoo: 54.5% (6-5, 11 matches — small sample)
  • vs. Ruby Storm: 50.0% (5-5, 10 matches — even)

Unfavorable matchups:

  • vs. Affinity: 18.2% (2-9, 11 matches) — the worst matchup by a wide margin
  • vs. Azorius Control: 25.0% (1-3, 4 matches — small sample)
  • vs. Amulet Titan: 33.3% (2-4, 6 matches — small sample)
  • vs. Living End: 33.3% (1-2, 3 matches — small sample)
  • vs. Tron: 41.7% (5-7, 12 matches)
  • vs. Jeskai Blink: 43.3% (13-17, 30 matches)

The picture is a deck that punches up well against the metagame's biggest presence (Boros Energy) but struggles heavily against artifact-based strategies like Affinity and gets ground down by controlling and big-mana decks. The Jeskai Blink matchup is also clearly unfavorable at a meaningful sample size of 30 matches. Note that several matchups outside of Boros Energy and Jeskai Blink have limited sample sizes, so treat those numbers as directional rather than definitive.
