Good, Esper Blink is confirmed in Modern. Now let me pull the matchup spread against the top archetypes.

Here is the full matchup spread for Esper Blink in Modern over the last 30 days (Mar 14 - Apr 13, 2026). The deck sits at a 48.3% overall winrate across 41 entries and 181 matches.

FAVORABLE MATCHUPS (positive record):

  • vs Domain Zoo: 70.0% (7-3, 10 matches)
  • vs Living End: 75.0% (3-1, 4 matches)
  • vs Affinity: 53.3% (8-7, 15 matches)
  • vs Boros Energy: 51.7% (15-14, 29 matches)

ROUGHLY EVEN:

  • vs Prowess: 50.0% (1-1-1, 3 matches)
  • vs Goryo Reanimator: 50.0% (3-3, 6 matches)
  • vs Neobrand: 50.0% (3-3, 6 matches)

UNFAVORABLE MATCHUPS (negative record):

  • vs Jeskai Blink: 40.9% (9-13, 22 matches)
  • vs Amulet Titan: 41.7% (5-7-1, 13 matches)
  • vs Tron: 38.5% (5-8, 13 matches)
  • vs Ruby Storm: 36.4% (4-7, 11 matches)
  • vs Azorius Control: 25.0% (2-6, 8 matches)

A few things stand out. Esper Blink looks fine against the field leader Boros Energy (nearly 52%), and it has a strong record against creature-based strategies like Domain Zoo. The notable pain points are the big-mana decks (Tron, Amulet Titan) and combo (Ruby Storm), plus a surprisingly rough spot against Azorius Control (only 25%, though the 8-match sample is small). The Jeskai Blink mirror-adjacent matchup at 40.9% across 22 matches is the most concerning statistically significant data point - the Jeskai version appears to have the edge in the blink-deck battle.

Note that weekly trends show some volatility: a 60% winrate the week of Mar 16, crashing to 40.6% and then 20% in subsequent weeks, suggesting a small sample with meaningful swings.
