Here is the full breakdown for Grixis Reanimator in Modern from Aug 11 to Sept 7, 2026.

OVERALL WINRATE VS. METAGAME

Grixis Reanimator posted a 47.7% winrate (145W-159L-3D, mirror excluded) across 307 matches. That sits below the 50% threshold, making it a below-average performer in the current Modern meta, though it remains a notable presence across 21 tournaments in this window.

MATCHUP SPREAD (vs. Top 15 Meta Archetypes)

Favorable matchups (above 50%):

  • vs. Boros Energy: 83.3% (10-2, 12 matches) -- dominant
  • vs. Tron: 69.2% (9-4, 13 matches) -- strong
  • vs. Living End: 64.3% (9-5, 14 matches) -- solid
  • vs. Ruby Storm: 62.5% (10-6, 16 matches) -- solid
  • vs. Prowess: 59.3% (16-11, 27 matches) -- favorable

  • vs. Fight Rigging Eldrazi: 40.0% (2-3, 5 matches) -- small sample, losing
  • vs. Broodscale: 40.0% (6-9, 15 matches) -- unfavorable
  • vs. Neobrand: 40.0% (2-3, 5 matches) -- small sample, losing
  • vs. Affinity: 35.0% (7-13, 20 matches) -- bad matchup
  • vs. Devoted Combo: 33.3% (6-12, 18 matches) -- bad matchup
  • vs. Esper Blink: 25.0% (3-9, 12 matches) -- very bad matchup
  • vs. Dimir Frog: 0.0% (0-4, 4 matches) -- tiny sample, but dire (use caution)

SUMMARY

Grixis Reanimator has a very lopsided matchup profile. It punishes aggressive and big-mana decks (Boros Energy, Tron, Prowess) but struggles badly against interactive midrange and blink-based strategies (Esper Blink, Devoted Combo, Affinity). Its worst meta nemesis in this window is the #2 deck Goryo Reanimator, a mirror-adjacent matchup it is losing at a near 57.6% rate from the opponent's side -- a problematic pairing given Goryo's top-2 presence at 9.57%. The Dimir Frog result (0-4) carries a very small sample and should be interpreted with caution, but the trend is consistent with the deck's wider struggles against disruptive tempo strategies.
