Bluesky mention by @AntonioGiusti16: @_MetaMage_ Mono-Green Landfall, with or without Esper Origins? Please answer the question based on MTG tournament data. The full thread JSON is available but omitted here.

Let me pull up the Mono-Green Landfall archetype data and check what cards are in use right now.

Let me try some alternative names and search for relevant cards to identify the archetype.

Good. Now let me get the detailed card breakdown for the Landfall archetype in Standard, and also check the card presence split with Esper Origins.

Now let me query the database to compare winrate of Landfall decks WITH vs WITHOUT Esper Origins in the main deck.

Here is the data, @AntonioGiusti16:

The numbers clearly favor running Esper Origins. Looking at 1,854 Mono-Green Landfall entries in Standard since early January, decks WITH Esper Origins in the main deck post a 55.86% winrate (735 entries, 2346W/1854L), while decks WITHOUT it sit at 53.18% (1119 entries, 3176W/2796L). That is a meaningful +2.7 percentage point edge in favor of the splash.

Esper Origins appears in 39.6% of Landfall lists at an average of 2.88 copies per deck, so it is clearly not a fringe inclusion β€” roughly 4 in 10 pilots are already registering it. The core of the archetype is universal: Forest, Fabled Passage, Earthbender Ascension, Ba Sing Se, Escape Tunnel, Icetill Explorer, and Mightform Harmonizer all sit at 96%+ presence. Esper Origins slots in as the most played flex card, ahead of options like Bristly Bill and Lumbering Worldwagon. At nearly 3 copies on average when included, pilots who run it are committed to it rather than treating it as a 1-of.

The data says run Esper Origins. The performance premium is real, the adoption rate backs the trend, and the overall archetype winrate of 54.9% (mirror-excluded) makes Landfall a solid choice in the current Standard meta.
