  • Weaknesses: Struggles hard against Domain Zoo (22%) and looks 0–5 vs Blue Belcher (small sample, but alarming). The Jeskai Blink matchup is notably rough at 38% — likely losing to the red splash.
  • ⚠️ Several matchups (Amulet, Belcher, Domain Zoo, AzControl) have small samples — treat those numbers with caution.
