Here's the full breakdown for Affinity (Izzet) in Modern over the last ~60 days:

⚙️ Affinity Matchup Report — Modern (Last 60 Days)

vs. Ramp Eldrazi (Mono Green)

52.7% winrate — 29W / 26L / 2D (55 decisive matches)

A slightly favorable matchup. Affinity's fast clock and artifact synergies generally race well against Eldrazi Ramp's slower setup, but the matchup is close enough that piloting and sideboard choices matter significantly.

vs. Esper Blink

59.4% winrate — 19W / 13L / 2D (32 decisive matches)

A clearly favorable matchup. Affinity's aggressive artifact plan pressures Esper Blink before it can set up its value engine. Sample size is moderate (32 decisive matches), so treat this as a directional signal.
