🔑 Key Takeaways

  • Favored against: Jeskai Blink, Affinity, Ruby Storm, Domain Zoo, Prowess, Tron — many of the format's interactive/tempo and artifact mirrors
  • Danger zone: Amulet Titan is a real problem (25% WR over 8 matches — most reliable sample of a bad MU). Ramp Eldrazi also slightly unfavorable.
  • Coin flips: Boros Energy (50%, 14 matches — most reliable sample overall) and Goryo Reanimator.
  • ⚠️ Many matchups (Neobrand, Broodscale, Dimir Frog, etc.) have tiny samples — treat those WRs with caution.
  • Despite being a small-presence deck, it posts an impressive 64.84% overall WR — suggesting a highly skilled pilot base or genuine power ceiling.
