Hollow One Meta Position March April

Here's the rundown on Hollow One in the current Modern meta:

📊 Hollow One — Meta Snapshot

Presence: Very fringe — only ~0.3–0.5% meta share in recent weeks, down from ~1% in early March. It doesn't crack the top 15 archetypes.

Winrate (last 30 days, mirror excluded): 48% (12W–13L), which is slightly below the break-even threshold.

Trend: Declining. After a brief hot streak in early March (60–75% winrate on small samples), the deck has nearly vanished from the competitive scene with only 1–2 entries per week lately.

🃏 Core Cards

The deck runs the classic shell:

• 4x Faithless Looting, 4x Street Wraith, 4x Hollow One
• 4x Detective's Phoenix (new addition replacing Flamewake/Arclight roles)
• Lightning Bolt + fetchlands/shocks (Wooded Foothills/Blood Crypt)

🏆 Meta Context

The top dogs right now are:

1. Boros Energy — 21.2% presence, 50.2% WR
2. Jeskai Blink — 11% presence
3. Affinity — 8.2% presence
4. Amulet Titan — 6.2% presence, 56% WR (best among top decks)

Hollow One is struggling to find its footing against this field.

🔍 Verdict

Not currently competitive at a high level. It's a passion pick — the deck can win games explosively but has very low meta representation and a sub-50% winrate in recent data. If you love the playstyle, it's playable, but there are stronger options if you're grinding for results.
