Good. Now let me get matchup winrates against the top archetypes, and also query the database to split entries by Quantum Riddler vs Vivi + Expressive Iteration variants.
The match result field might use different values. Let me check the actual result values and also look at the matches schema more carefully.
Here's the full breakdown for Izzet Cutter in Modern over the last 4 weeks (May 18 - June 15, 2026).
OVERALL PERFORMANCE
Izzet Cutter posted a 60.9% winrate (39W-25L, mirror matches excluded) across 64 decisive matches. The archetype sits at roughly 4% meta presence — it's not a dominant share of the field but it's performing well above 50%.
VARIANT SPLIT
All three builds carry the core (Emry, Tamiyo, Cori-Steel Cutter, Mox Opal, Urza's Saga), but differ in the flex slots:
Quantum Riddler variant: 45 matches, 28W-17L — 62.2% winrate. The most-played version by a wide margin (roughly 70% of all Cutter entries). Clearly the established "stock" list right now.
Vivi Ornitier / Expressive Iteration variant: 10 matches, 6W-4L — 60.0% winrate. Small sample, but competitive. Likely a card-advantage-focused take trading the Riddler threat for more consistent filtering.
Base (neither): 9 matches, 5W-4L — 55.6% winrate. The leanest shell, also the smallest sample.
The Quantum Riddler version dominates in volume and edges out slightly in winrate, but sample sizes for the other two are too small to draw firm conclusions.
MATCHUP BREAKDOWN (all variants combined)
vs. Boros Energy (meta #1, 9.5% share): 4W-5L — 44.4%. Slight losing record, the deck's worst common matchup.
vs. Affinity (meta #2, 8.7% share): 6W-3L — 66.7%. Strong.
vs. Prowess (meta #3, 6.2% share): 2W-2L — 50.0%. Even, though only 4 matches.
vs. Broodscale (meta #4, 5.5% share): 1W-4L — 20.0%. Rough matchup, the clearest danger spot in the data.
vs. Goryo Reanimator (meta #5, 5.4%): 3W-0L — 100.0% (3 matches, treat with caution).
vs. Grixis Reanimator (meta #6, 4.9%): 4W-1L — 80.0%.
vs. Azorius Control: 1W-0L, Amulet Titan: 1W-0L — too few matches to say much.
The headline story: Cutter crushes both reanimator flavors and Affinity, but Broodscale looks like a genuine problem (1-4 in 5 matches), and Boros Energy is at best a coin flip. Those two together make up about 15% of the meta, so they're relevant concerns.
