Let me gather data on all these archetypes simultaneously!
Many matchups are returning 0 data, likely due to archetype name mismatches. Let me resolve all archetype names properly first, and also get the remaining matchup data I need.
The database is experiencing some intermittent errors. Let me try a direct query to get the archetype names and IDs, and the matchup data I need with a more robust approach.
Now I have all the IDs. I can see "goryo reanimator" maps to Goryo's Vengeance, "broodscale combo" for Baking Broodscale, and "yawgmoth" for Yawgmoth. Let me now get all the matchup data I need in bulk using direct SQL queries.
SQLite doesn't support VALUES with column aliases that way. Let me rewrite with a simpler approach.
The join query for matchups isn't working correctly (same numbers for all opponents per candidate — it's not filtering on opponent properly). Let me use the proven get_matchup_winrate tool for the specific pairings that actually returned data, and do targeted SQL for the ones that returned 0. Let me get the real per-matchup data with correct SQL.
I notice Eldrazi Tron and Broodscale Combo had no matchup data (0 matches in the period). Now I need the field-vs-field matchups and also need to handle Blue Belcher vs field. Let me get that, plus the sources.
Now I have all the data I need. Let me compile the weighted matchup scores for the local field.
The local field (weighted by count):
I'll calculate weighted scores for each candidate and field deck (excluding the ETron mirror for ETron since there's no data). Let me now compute the weighted scores mentally from the data:
Field weights (out of 14 total opponents, ignoring ETron since no data): Boros(2), Blue Belcher(2), Domain(3), Amulet(1), Living End(2), Jeskai(1), Goryo(1), Ruby Storm(1) = 13 slots with data
BLUE BELCHER vs field (weighted):
DOMAIN ZOO vs field (weighted):
JESKAI BLINK vs field (weighted):
GORYO REANIMATOR vs field (weighted):
RUBY STORM vs field (weighted):
AMULET TITAN vs field (weighted):
Now for the CANDIDATE DECKS vs the field:
RAMP ELDRAZI vs field (weighted):
AFFINITY vs field (weighted):
YAWGMOTH vs field (weighted):
Now I have everything. Let me compose the answer:
Here's a full breakdown based on matchup data from Dec 24, 2025 – Feb 23, 2026 (124 Modern tournaments)! I computed a weighted matchup score for each deck against your local field composition.
I calculated a field-weighted average winrate for each deck present in your field against all other field members (weighted by how many players are running each deck):
| Deck | Weighted WR vs Field | Key Edges |
|---|---|---|
| 🥇 Jeskai Blink | ~48.7% | Crushes Domain Zoo (62.7%), Boros (61.4%) |
| 🥈 Goryo Reanimator | ~47.8% | Wrecks Ruby Storm (72.4%), good vs Domain/Amulet |
| 🥉 Blue Belcher | ~46.4% | Smashes Goryo (72.7%), Amulet (64.3%), Boros (60.7%) |
Key insight: Your field is heavily weighted towards Domain Zoo (3 copies) and Boros Energy (2 copies). Jeskai Blink is the clear #1 since it goes 62.7% vs Domain Zoo and 61.4% vs Boros Energy — your two most popular decks. Goryo Reanimator has an exceptional Ruby Storm matchup (72.4%) and a strong overall spread. Blue Belcher feasts on Boros and Amulet but struggles against Domain Zoo somewhat (45.5%).
⚠️ Note: Eldrazi Tron had no matchup data vs your field decks in this period, so it was treated as a neutral opponent for field-vs-field calculations.
I computed the same weighted score for your 5 candidate decks vs your local field:
| Deck | Weighted WR vs Field | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 🥇 Ramp Eldrazi | ~56.2% | Best overall fit — positive vs nearly everyone |
| 🥈 Affinity | ~52.9% | Crushes Living End (70.6%), solid vs Domain Zoo |
| 🥉 Yawgmoth | ~47.3% | Balanced, but struggles vs Blue Belcher (27.3%) |
This is your strongest choice. It's favored vs 6 of 8 matchups with data:
Only Ruby Storm (1 player) and Amulet Titan (1 player) are real trouble spots.
Solid second option — especially strong against the combo/graveyard decks in your field:
❌ Eldrazi Tron & Broodscale Combo: Both had zero matchup data in our DB for this period, so I can't give you reliable weighted scores for them. Avoid picking them blind.
