Good, I have both card IDs. Now let me query the database for Modern entries in the last 6 weeks that contain Living End but not Violent Outburst.
The match results are returning zeros for wins/losses/draws despite 96 matches found — the mirror flag filter may be causing the issue. Let me adjust:
The result values are uppercase. Now I have the data I need.
Here are the results for @motow:
Over the last 6 weeks (June 9 - July 21, 2026), Modern decks running Living End in the maindeck but not Violent Outburst posted a 44-51-1 match record across 24 tournament entries. That works out to a 46.3% winrate (excluding draws), which is below the 50% baseline. This is a fairly small sample, so treat the number with some caution, but it does suggest these builds — likely leaning on Ardent Plea or other cascade enablers instead of Violent Outburst — are underperforming relative to the broader field.
For context, the classic Violent Outburst version of Living End remains the dominant cascade shell in Modern; cutting it appears to come at a measurable cost to match results based on this data.
