Good, I have the top 16 archetypes and the Eldrazi archetype_id. Now let me get the matchup winrates for Eldrazi against each of the top 16 archetypes in that date range.

Here is Eldrazi's head-to-head record against the top 16 Legacy archetypes by meta presence over the last 60 days (2026-07-08 to 2026-09-07). Eldrazi's overall record sits at 52.38% winrate across all matches in the format.

Matchup breakdown (sorted by meta rank, wins-losses, WR%):

  1. Dimir Tempo (#1, 8.97% meta): 4-2, 66.67% -- FAVORABLE
  2. Doomsday (#2, 7.20%): 4-3, 57.14% -- SLIGHT EDGE
  3. Dimir Midrange (#3, 6.04%): 7-6, 53.85% -- ROUGHLY EVEN
  4. Death & Taxes (#4, 5.77%): 3-5, 37.50% -- UNFAVORABLE
  5. Azorius Midrange (#5, 5.49%): 1-2, 33.33% -- UNFAVORABLE
  6. Energy (#6, 4.90%): 2-2, 50.00% -- EVEN
  7. Tron (#7, 4.14%): 3-3, 50.00% -- EVEN
  8. Grixis Reanimator (#8, 4.12%): 0-3, 0.00% -- VERY UNFAVORABLE
  9. Izzet Delver (#9, 3.99%): 4-2, 66.67% -- FAVORABLE
  10. Show and Tell (#10, 3.71%): 1-2, 33.33% -- UNFAVORABLE
  11. Blue Artifacts (#11, 3.34%): 0-1, 0.00% -- (too few matches)
  12. Lands (#12, 3.21%): 1-3, 25.00% -- UNFAVORABLE
  13. Aluren (#13, 2.44%): 4-5, 44.44% -- SLIGHT DISADVANTAGE
  14. Mystic Forge Combo (#14, 2.29%): 1-1, 50.00% -- EVEN
  15. Welder Combo (#15, 1.96%): 0-1, 0.00% -- (too few matches)
  16. White Beanstalk (#16, 1.73%): 1-1, 50.00% -- EVEN

The clearest takeaways: Eldrazi performs well against the blue tempo/control shells (Dimir Tempo at 66.67%, Izzet Delver at 66.67%, Doomsday at 57.14%), which are the most-played decks in the format. On the flip side, it struggles against graveyard and prison strategies -- Grixis Reanimator is a near-unplayable matchup (0-3), and it is also negative vs. Death & Taxes, Lands, Azorius Midrange, and Show and Tell. Note that several matchups (Blue Artifacts, Welder Combo, Azorius Midrange, Grixis Reanimator) have very small sample sizes (1-3 matches), so treat those numbers with caution.
