Basking Broodscale Decks SCG CON Dallas Breakdown

1 requestsStarted 9/8/2026, 2:54:48 PM
I want you to analyze all of the decks from Magic Spotlight: The Hobbit™ - SCG CON Dallas, and filter for only those which include Basking Broodscale. I want you to categorize those decks into 4 groups. (1) Decks with Ugins Labyrinth, (2) Decks with Unholy Heat but not Writhing Chrysalis (3) Decks with Writhing Chrysalis (4) Decks without Ugins Labyrinth, Unholy Heat or Writhing Chrysalis and show me the winrate per group overall, plus the sample count both for # of decks and # of matches

Let me start by finding the tournament and the relevant card IDs simultaneously.

Found the tournament ID 87563764-0456-45d1-9731-60e0fc21e10b. Now let me pull all entries with Basking Broodscale and their card flags in one query.

🛠️QueryBroodscale Deck Performance by Card Variant Groups

Note: Group 1 takes priority — if a deck has Ugin's Labyrinth and Writhing Chrysalis, it goes into Group 1. Let me verify the exact overlap and also confirm the total match counts are correct (wins+losses+draws = total matches played, not individual game matches).

This is very clean data. The groupings are unambiguous — no deck has Ugin's Labyrinth alongside Chrysalis or Heat. Here's the full breakdown:

(Winrate excludes draws)

Key observations:

  • Group 1 (Ugin's Labyrinth) is the clear standout at 60.0% WR — a full 8 points ahead of every other build. Clean data too: no Ugin's Labyrinth deck also ran Heat or Chrysalis.
  • Group 3 (Writhing Chrysalis) is notably the most popular path without Ugin's Labyrinth — and nearly all 17 of those decks also ran Unholy Heat (16/17), making it essentially "Chrysalis + Heat" builds.
  • Group 4 (the unclassified builds) went a dead-even 61–61 — 50.0% flat.
  • Overall, Broodscale decks as a whole posted a healthy 54.4% WR across the event.
