Key Insights

Ruby Storm's Achilles' Heel: Control strategies (particularly Azorius) shut down the combo with permission and sweepers. Domain Zoo (34.15%) and Blue Belcher (40.0%) are also problematic.

Eldrazi Ramp's Struggles: Fast combo decks like Neobrand are devastating, and graveyard strategies (Grixis Reanimator) exploit Eldrazi's inability to interact on the stack pre-board.

Shared Weakness: While they both struggle with different aspects, Neobrand punishes both - it's too fast for Ruby Storm to race consistently and completely bypasses Eldrazi's gameplan.
