🛠️QueryWeapons Impact on Deck Performance in Tournament

Over the past 2 months in Modern, decks running Pinnacle Emissary show a significant performance difference based on whether they include Weapons Manufacturing. Decks with Weapons Manufacturing achieved a 56.5% winrate (104-80 record across 37 entries), while those without managed only a 49.0% winrate (421-438 record across 212 entries). This represents a 7.5 percentage point advantage for the Weapons Manufacturing builds.

The data suggests that Weapons Manufacturing provides meaningful synergy with Pinnacle Emissary's artifact-casting trigger, likely creating explosive turns where each artifact creates both a Drone token and a Munitions token. While the sample size for Weapons Manufacturing builds is smaller (37 vs 212 entries), the winrate difference is substantial enough to indicate genuine strategic value.
