I'll start by resolving both archetypes and getting the format info needed, then pull the meta report for Modern to identify the top 10 most played decks.
The archetypes were found in different formats (Azorius Midrange in Pauper, Azorius Stoneblade in Legacy), but the meta report came back for Modern. The user is asking about Modern matchups given the top 10 most played decks context. Let me search for these archetypes in Modern specifically, and also search for Quantum Riddler and Phelia to get their card IDs.
Now I have all the IDs I need. Both archetypes exist in Modern. Let me now run the matchup winrate queries for both archetypes against the top 10 Modern decks, but first I need to filter for entries that include Quantum Riddler and Phelia. Let me do this with custom SQL queries for both archetypes.
The comments inside the SQL are causing issues. Let me fix that:
Interesting findings: Azorius Midrange in Modern has zero entries with both Quantum Riddler AND Phelia in the last 60 days. And Azorius Stoneblade only exists in Legacy (not Modern) — in Modern it's just called "Stoneblade." Let me widen the search and check Modern's Stoneblade archetype with both cards, and also try broader date ranges and check what cards these archetypes actually play in Modern:
This is very revealing. Quantum Riddler is primarily a Jeskai Blink card in Modern (837 entries), while Phelia is also primarily a Jeskai Blink card (837 entries). Neither card shows up in Azorius Midrange or any Stoneblade archetype in Modern in the relevant period. The two cards together define Jeskai Blink and related blink archetypes.
The user's framing ("Azorius Midrange" and "Azorius Stoneblade" lists that run Quantum Riddler and Phelia) suggests they may be referring to specific lists within a broader blink-style shell, or these could be niche brews. Let me check whether there are ANY entries in Modern tagged as Azorius Midrange or Stoneblade that run either card, and also check what the Azorius Midrange archetype in Modern actually plays:
Zero entries in both cases in the last 60 days. Let me now check if Azorius Blink in Modern (which runs both cards, as seen above with 99 entries) is what the user might mean, and also look at all Modern entries running both cards to understand what archetypes they're actually classified under:
Now I have a clear picture. The user's requested archetypes don't exist in Modern with those card constraints. The closest candidates are Azorius Blink (77 entries with both cards). Let me now run the full matchup analysis for Azorius Blink vs the top 10 Modern decks, filtered to entries running both Quantum Riddler and Phelia:
The query is returning zero matches despite 77 qualified entries. Let me check how matches link to entries and verify the data:
Good, 77 entries and 318 matches exist. The issue must be in the opponent join. Let me check the matches table structure:
Excellent! Now I have the Azorius Blink data. Now let me also do the same for Jeskai Blink (the biggest archetype running both cards) and check all other archetypes the user might have intended. Let me also get the sources:
Now I have all the data I need. Let me compile the full answer.
Hey @JurgenKowalsky, I need to flag some important data realities before diving in.
Neither "Azorius Midrange" nor "Azorius Stoneblade" exist as registered archetypes in Modern running both Quantum Riddler and Phelia in the last 60 days. Azorius Midrange in Modern has zero entries in the database over the past two months, and "Azorius Stoneblade" is exclusively a Legacy archetype. Stoneblade in Modern is simply classified as "Stoneblade," and it runs neither card.
What the data does show is that in Modern, Quantum Riddler + Phelia together appear in Blink-style shells. The closest match to what you're describing are Azorius Blink (77 entries with both cards) and Esper Blink (124 entries with both cards) — so I'll treat those as the two comparable archetypes and report matchups vs the top 10 Modern decks (Apr 15 – Jun 15, 2026, mirrors excluded):
TOP 10 MODERN META (by match presence):
AZORIUS BLINK (with Quantum Riddler + Phelia maindeck) — 77 entries, 318 matches:
Opponent W L D Win%
Boros Energy 13 14 0 48.1%
Affinity 14 9 0 60.9%
Prowess 12 9 0 57.1%
Goryo Reanimator 8 11 1 42.1%
Amulet Titan 9 4 0 69.2%
Ruby Storm 5 3 0 62.5%
Tron 11 3 1 78.6%
Broodscale 7 6 0 53.8%
Azorius Control 5 6 0 45.5%
Grixis Reanimator 4 5 0 44.4%
Strong matchups: Tron (78.6%), Amulet Titan (69.2%), Affinity (60.9%), Ruby Storm (62.5%). Rough spots: Goryo Reanimator (42.1%), Grixis Reanimator (44.4%), and Azorius Control (45.5%).
ESPER BLINK (with Quantum Riddler + Phelia maindeck) — 124 entries:
Opponent W L D Win%
Boros Energy 22 33 1 40.0%
Prowess 18 17 0 51.4%
Affinity 13 18 2 41.9%
Goryo Reanimator 16 12 3 57.1%
Broodscale 14 8 0 63.6%
Tron 6 9 1 40.0%
Ruby Storm 8 5 0 61.5%
Grixis Reanimator 4 9 1 30.8%
Azorius Control 3 10 2 23.1%
Amulet Titan 4 7 1 36.4%
Strong matchups: Broodscale (63.6%), Goryo Reanimator (57.1%), Ruby Storm (61.5%). Rough spots: Azorius Control (23.1%), Grixis Reanimator (30.8%), Boros Energy (40.0%), Tron (40.0%), and Amulet Titan (36.4%).
The two shells diverge significantly in key spots. Azorius Blink handles big mana (Tron, Amulet) much better, while Esper Blink has a harder time with Azorius Control and reanimator strategies, likely because the added black opens up graveyard vulnerability without sufficiently patching the control matchup. If you have a specific "Azorius Midrange" or "Azorius Stoneblade" decklist in mind, feel free to share it — it may be tagged under a different archetype name in the database.
