Now let me pull the matchup matrix by querying the database for TES's head-to-head record against all archetypes in the specified date range.
The query returned zero rows likely due to a copy-paste error in the WHERE clause. Let me fix and rerun:
The match counts are coming through but wins/losses/draws are all zero, which suggests the result field may be stored differently. Let me check the result values in the matches table:
Here is TES's matchup matrix in Legacy from May 18 to June 29, 2026 (mirror matches excluded, minimum 3 matches played):
Opponent W L D WR%
Welder Combo 3 0 0 100.0
Death & Taxes 3 0 0 100.0
Lands 5 1 0 83.3
Energy 3 1 0 75.0
Jeskai Midrange 2 1 0 66.7
Show and Tell 5 3 0 62.5
Grixis Reanimator 6 4 0 60.0
Eldrazi 3 2 0 60.0
Tron 5 4 0 55.6
Izzet Delver 7 6 0 53.8
Dimir Midrange 2 2 1 50.0
Doomsday 1 5 0 16.7
TES had a broadly favorable matrix across the window. Its best matchups were against fair/prison decks (Death & Taxes, Lands, Energy), while it beat the combo mirrors like Show and Tell and Grixis Reanimator at a healthy clip. The one clear weakness is Doomsday, where TES went just 1-5 (16.7%), likely reflecting Doomsday's speed and the fact that both decks race each other but Doomsday has more built-in interaction for the mirror combo dynamic. Izzet Delver and Dimir Midrange were the closest matchups among the fair blue decks, both hovering right around 50%.
Note that sample sizes are modest for several rows (3-6 matches), so treat the extreme winrates (Welder Combo, Death & Taxes, Doomsday) with some caution.
