Here's the full breakdown on Samwise Combo in the current Modern meta:

🧙 Samwise Combo — Meta Positioning (Last 30 Days)

Overall Performance

  • Winrate: 54.5% (excl. mirrors) — 48W / 40L
  • Meta Presence: Very low (~1–1.4% in weeks with activity)
  • Key Cards: Samwise Gamgee, Viscera Seer, Birthing Ritual — Abzan (WBG) shell

Trend Analysis (Last 60 Days)
The deck is still fringe/emerging with volatile results:

WeekEntriesWinrate
May 11–1713⚠️ 27.8%
May 18–24260.0%
Jun 1–7651.9%

The brutal May 11–17 dip (27.8%) suggests the deck got exposed in a larger sample, but it has stabilized around 50–52% since.

Meta Context

  • The meta is dominated by Boros Energy (11.6% presence, 52.1% WR) and Affinity (9.3%, 53.0%)
  • Samwise Combo is not in the top 15 archetypes — it's a rogue pick
  • Broodscale (a different combo deck) is the more established combo option at 3.83% presence and 53.5% WR

Bottom Line: Samwise Combo is a fringe, high-variance deck with a decent 54.5% winrate in small samples. It can steal wins as a surprise factor, but lacks the meta presence and consistency data to call it well-positioned. If you want a combo deck, Broodscale has stronger data behind it right now.
