Overall Affinity Performance (same period):
The specific configuration with Pinnacle Emissary but without Tamiyo, Inquisitive Student and Emry, Lurker of the Loch shows virtually identical performance to the archetype's overall winrate. This suggests that this particular card selection doesn't significantly impact the deck's competitive performance compared to other Affinity variants.
