Let me also check if Pinnacle Starcage appears in the sideboard, and broaden the search a bit:

šŸ› ļøQueryArchetype winrate with specific card inclusion
šŸ› ļøQueryWinrate by Board for Specific Card and Archetype

Here's the breakdown for Azorius Control over the last 6 months:

šŸ”’ Temporary Lockdown (Mainboard)

  • Entries: 4
  • Record: 17W ā€“ 7L ā€“ 3D
  • Winrate: 70.8%

šŸ—ļø Pinnacle Starcage

  • Mainboard: 0 entries ā€” not played in the main deck
  • Sideboard: 2 entries ā€” 8W / 5L ā†’ 61.5% winrate

Temporary Lockdown is clearly the winner, and by a significant margin. It's also the far more established choice, appearing in mainboards while Pinnacle Starcage has only shown up as a fringe sideboard option with minimal adoption.

āš ļø Caveat: Sample sizes here are small (4 entries for Lockdown, 2 for Starcage), so treat these numbers as directional rather than conclusive. Neither card is a heavy staple in the current UW lists based on recent data.
