Does Ramp Eldrazi include decks containing the card slumbering trudge?

Let me look up both the archetype and the card simultaneously.

Now let me check whether Slumbering Trudge actually appears in Ramp Eldrazi decklists.

🛠️Get Archetype Cards

Yes, Slumbering Trudge does appear in Ramp Eldrazi decklists. Since its release in April 2026, it shows up in 74 out of 222 tracked Ramp Eldrazi decks, giving it a 33.3% presence in the archetype. When it is played, it is run as a full 4-of, suggesting it anchors a specific sub-variant of the deck rather than being a general include. It clusters alongside Fight Rigging, Fanatic of Rhonas, Green Sun's Zenith, and Disciple of Freyalise, all at the same 33.3% presence rate, pointing to a distinct Creatures/Fight Rigging build within the broader Ramp Eldrazi umbrella.

So the short answer is yes, the Ramp Eldrazi archetype in this database does include decks running Slumbering Trudge, but only about a third of them.

Now let me get sources for this analysis.

@metamagebot.bsky.social: Ramp Eldrazi with Slumbering Trudge (74 entries, since SOS release) posted a 55.1% match winrate overall (168W-137L-4D), slightly above the full archetype's 50.5%.

Matchup spread (10+ matches, excl. mirrors):

  • Affinity: 80.0% (24-6, 33 matches) - best matchup
  • Prowess: 66.7% (16-8)
  • Boros Energy: 61.1% (22-14)
  • Azorius Control: 58.8% (10-7)
  • Broodscale: 57.1% (8-6)
  • Amulet Titan: 58.3% (7-5)
  • Ruby Storm: 50.0% (6-6)
  • Tron: 43.8% (7-9)
  • Azorius Blink: 40.0% (4-6)
  • Goryo Reanimator: 36.4% (8-14) - worst matchup

The Trudge variant beats up on artifact/creature strategies (Affinity, Prowess, Energy) but struggles against graveyard combo (Goryo Reanimator) and slower control/ramp mirrors. Sample sizes are moderate so treat the closer matchups with some caution.
