I'll analyze the Jeskai Blink archetype in Modern, looking at its meta presence and performance over the recent period.
Jeskai Blink is a minor player in the Modern metagame, representing 22 tournament entries across 10 events in the last 60 days. The deck sits well outside the top 15 archetypes by meta presence, while its Esper counterpart claims 6.02% of the field. Over the last two months, Jeskai Blink has posted a 48.2% winrate (27-29 excluding mirrors and draws), showing slightly below-average performance.
The weekly trend data reveals concerning inconsistency. After peaking at 66.7% in late September, the deck crashed to 33.3% in early October. With minimal entries in recent weeks and volatile performance swings, the archetype appears to lack the metagame positioning or consistency of its more successful Esper variant. Key cards include Ephemerate (3.8 avg copies), Consign to Memory (3.9 copies), and Arena of Glory (2.0 copies).
The deck's struggle relative to Esper Blink (49.03% winrate, 6x the meta presence) suggests that the UWR color combination may not be optimally positioned in the current Modern environment. Players seeking a blink strategy appear to favor the black splash for superior interaction and card selection.
