is broodscale a good pick right now ? If yes which list/version, based on entry and wins from them

I'll analyze Broodscale Combo's current performance in Modern to see if it's a good pick right now and identify the best performing versions.

Based on the current tournament data, Broodscale is NOT a good pick right now. Here's why:

Current Performance Issues:

  • Poor meta presence: Only 0.82% of top 8 appearances in the last month
  • Inconsistent winrate: 52.4% overall with volatile weekly performance (ranging from 0% to 59.38%)
  • Recent downward trend: Presence dropped from 5.1% in late August to just 1.21% this week

Tournament Results Analysis:

  • Top 8s: Only 4 appearances out of 489 total slots (0.82% share)
  • Wins: Just 1 tournament win in competitive events
  • Performance spread: Individual entries ranged from 0-85.71% winrate, showing high variance

Best Performing Versions:

From the data, the most successful builds include:

1. Colorless Eldrazi Build (85.71% WR):

  • 4x Grove of the Burnwillows
  • 3x Ugin's Labyrinth
  • 3x Devourer of Destiny
  • 4x Sowing Mycospawn

2. Traditional Gruul Build (70% WR):

  • 4x Grove of the Burnwillows
  • Standard shell with Walking Ballista

3. Golgari Version (66.67% WR):

  • 4x Llanowar Wastes instead of Grove
  • Black splash for disruption

The Eldrazi-heavy versions with Ugin's Labyrinth and Devourer of Destiny showed the highest individual winrates, but sample sizes are very small.

Bottom Line:

Broodscale is currently a poor meta choice due to low presence, inconsistent results, and being crowded out by more powerful combo decks like Blue Belcher and Neobrand. The deck appears to be struggling against the current field.
