what is the most winning combination of 3 drops (excluding phlage) in boros energy with a substantial sample size

I'll analyze the most winning 3-drop combinations in Boros Energy, excluding Phlage. Let me start by getting the Modern format ID and then examine the archetype and its card usage.

Now let me get the specific 3-drop cards used in Boros Energy over the last 60 days to identify the combinations:

Now I need to identify which cards are 3-drops and analyze combinations. Let me search for the key 3-drop cards I can see from the list:

Let me check the mana costs more carefully with a database query to identify 3-drops and analyze winning combinations:

Let me fix the query to work with the actual schema:

Let me analyze combinations of the main 3-drops. I need to look at decks playing both Seasoned Pyromancer and Fable:

Let me try a simpler approach to analyze 3-drop performance:

Let me try to get the card IDs first:

Now let me get some recent tournament sources for citation:

Based on my analysis of Boros Energy's 3-drop combinations (excluding Phlage) over the last 60 days, here are the key findings:

3-Drop Performance Analysis

Most Winning Configuration: Neither Seasoned Pyromancer nor Fable (50.4% winrate)

  • Sample size: Only 6 decks (too small for reliable analysis)

Substantial Sample Sizes:

1. Only Seasoned Pyromancer: 46.3% winrate

  • 214 decks (substantial sample)
  • Most common alternative configuration

2. Both Seasoned Pyromancer + Fable: 45.2% winrate

  • 302 decks (largest sample)
  • Most popular 3-drop package combination

3. Only Fable: 42.5% winrate

  • 13 decks (small sample)

Key Insights

  • Seasoned Pyromancer alone performs best among substantial samples at 46.3% winrate
  • The dual 3-drop package (SP + Fable) is most popular but slightly underperforms at 45.2%
  • Fable alone shows the weakest performance at 42.5% winrate

The data suggests that when including 3-drops, Seasoned Pyromancer without Fable provides the best risk-adjusted performance in Boros Energy builds, offering card selection and token generation without the additional mana investment of running both.
