Azorius Phelia didn't return a direct match. The closest archetype in Legacy that fits the description is "Azorius Midrange" — let me check that and also try a direct Phelia search to confirm.

Interesting — the Azorius Midrange archetype that matches Legacy (with Force of Will, Brainstorm, Swords to Plowshares, Tundra) is being returned under Pauper format but clearly contains Legacy cards. Let me search for the right archetype in Legacy directly and get matchup data.

Confirmed — 73 of 114 recent Azorius Midrange entries in Legacy run Phelia, making it the dominant shell. This is the archetype you're referring to. Let me now pull the full matchup spread.

🛠️QueryMatchup Winrates Against Opponent Archetypes

The match results are returning zeros for W/L/D, which suggests the result encoding in the matches table may be stored differently. Let me check how results are stored.

Here is the Azorius Phelia (filed as Azorius Midrange in the database) matchup spread in Legacy over the last 60 days, among matchups with at least 10 recorded matches:

Favorable matchups:

  • Tron: 72.7% (8-3, 12 matches) -- strong edge
  • Dimir Midrange: 66.7% (14-7, 21 matches) -- notably clean
  • Show and Tell: 64.0% (16-9, 26 matches) -- solid
  • Izzet Delver: 55.2% (16-13, 29 matches) -- slight edge

Roughly even matchups:

  • Grixis Reanimator: 52.9% (9-8, 18 matches)
  • Blue Artifacts: 52.9% (9-8, 18 matches)
  • Welder Combo: 50.0% (7-7, 15 matches)
  • Doomsday: 47.6% (10-11, 21 matches)
  • Energy: 48.1% (13-14, 28 matches)

Unfavorable matchups:

  • Death and Taxes: 46.2% (6-7, 15 matches) -- slight negative
  • Dimir Tempo: 42.2% (19-26, 45 matches) -- most-played matchup, meaningful deficit
  • Lands: 22.2% (2-7, 10 matches) -- worst matchup by far, though small sample

The clearest takeaway is that Dimir Tempo is both the most frequent matchup and one Azorius Phelia struggles against. Lands is the deck's biggest problem in raw winrate terms, though the 10-match sample warrants some caution. The deck punches well above 50% against big mana and opposing midrange/control strategies.
