what is the current meta positioning of Azorius flash / Azorius tempo, the one with heavy aven interrupter and sang swift savior. Look at results from the past 2 weeks

I'll analyze the current meta positioning of Azorius Flash/Tempo for you, looking at the past 2 weeks of tournament data.

🛠️Get Meta Report

Let me search for the specific cards you mentioned to help identify the archetype, and check if there's an Azorius archetype in Modern with those cards:

Let me search more broadly for Azorius archetypes in the recent data:

Let me check the Azorius Blink archetype and see what cards it's playing:

This doesn't look like the Flash/Tempo deck you're describing. Let me check if there's a deck with Aven Interrupter specifically:

🛠️QueryBlink Archetype Performance with Specific Card

Interesting - Aven Interrupter is showing up in Orzhov and Esper Blink, not Azorius. Let me check for any WU archetype that might be misnamed or check what archetypes are playing flash-style cards:

Let me get sources for the time period to show what data we're working with:

Based on my analysis of the past 2 weeks (January 15-29, 2026) of Modern tournament data, I have concerning news about Azorius Flash/Tempo:

Meta Positioning: Essentially Non-Existent

The archetype you're describing with Aven Interrupter and Aang, Swift Savior is not showing up in the competitive Modern meta over the past 2 weeks. Here's what I found:

Key Findings:

  • No pure Azorius (WU) Flash/Tempo archetype exists in the dataset
  • Aven Interrupter appeared in only 4 total decks: 3 Orzhov Blink (4-8-0 record) and 1 Esper Blink (0-1-0)
  • The only Azorius archetypes present were:
    • Azorius Blink: 3 entries (57.1% winrate, 4-3 record) - but this is a blink/energy deck with Phelia, Ocelot Pride, and Guide of Souls, NOT a flash deck
    • Blue Belcher: 29 entries (55.6% WR) - a combo deck, not tempo
    • Hammer Time: 5 entries - an equipment deck

Context:
The top of the meta is dominated by:

  1. Boros Energy (16.3% presence, 53.9% WR)
  2. Jeskai Blink (9.0% presence, 50.0% WR)
  3. Tron (7.1% presence, 49.1% WR)

Bottom Line: The Azorius Flash/Tempo shell with Aven Interrupter and Aang Swift Savior appears to be either a fringe brew not making tournament results, or players have moved away from it entirely in favor of the more successful blink-style Azorius builds.

Sources: Data from 25 tournaments (76% MTGO, 24% Melee) between January 15-29, 2026. Recent events include Modern Challenge 32 and SCG CON Portland RCQs.
