  • Hot right now — last two weeks show 67.9% and 62.5% winrates, with presence climbing to 6.8% this past week
  • Key cards: Goryo's Vengeance, Atraxa, Psychic Frog, Force of Negation — a powerful, resilient combo shell

Grixis Reanimator is struggling lately:

  • Dropped to just 20% winrate this past week (small sample, but alarming)
  • Lower presence and less consistent performance week-to-week
  • Runs Archon of Cruelty + Faithless Looting as its engine, lacking the explosive ceiling of Goryo
