Here is a full breakdown for Grixis Reanimator in Modern over the last 60 days:
Overall Winrate (mirror excluded): 51.2% across 738 decisive matches (375W-358L-5D). The deck sits at a slightly positive but unremarkable rate, placing it as a mid-tier archetype at 3.6% meta presence.
Good Matchups:
- vs Boros Energy: 65.4% (53-28, 81 matches) - the best result against any top-tier deck. Thoughtseize + Archon of Cruelty lines are excellent against energy-based fair decks.
- vs Azorius Control: 58.3% (28-20, 48 matches) - Grixis Reanimator goes over the top of counterspell-heavy decks by threatening huge threats that resolve through discard protection.
- vs Goryo Reanimator: 56.5% (26-20, 46 matches) - a slight edge in the reanimator mirror.
- vs Prowess: 54.8% (34-28, 62 matches) - marginal positive, but meaningful volume.
- vs Tron: 53.5% (23-20, 43 matches) - roughly even but leans slightly favorable.
Bad Matchups:
- vs Ruby Storm: 36.0% (9-16, 25 matches) - the worst matchup by far. Storm combos through discard and races the reanimator gameplan effectively.
- vs Affinity: 38.9% (21-33, 54 matches) - Affinity is a major problem, likely due to the speed and resilience of artifact-based aggro.
- vs Living End: 45.5% (10-12, 22 matches) - a slight negative, though the sample is small.
- vs Broodscale: 46.0% (23-27, 50 matches) - marginally unfavorable.
Roughly Even:
- vs Amulet Titan: 50.0% (14-14, 28 matches) - a true coin flip matchup.
In summary, Grixis Reanimator preys on fair midrange and control strategies (Boros Energy, Azorius Control) but struggles against fast combo and artifact aggro (Ruby Storm, Affinity).
