šŸ”‘ Key Takeaways

  • Best matchup: Tron (75%) and Dimir Frog (64.7%) ā€” the deck preys on slower/interactive strategies
  • Biggest threat: Affinity (27.3%) is rough ā€” a mirror-ish artifact matchup where you lose the race. Amulet Titan (16.7%) is a disaster, likely because both combo-kill faster.
  • Goryo Reanimator (36.4%) is a notable problem given it's the #3 deck in the meta by presence (~8.6%)
  • Presence is low (~0.9% meta share), suggesting this is still a fringe/rogue deck

šŸ“… Recent Trend

The deck spiked in Week of Sep 7ā€“13 (39 entries, 45.5% WR) but nearly disappeared the following week ā€” likely a one-event spike rather than sustained adoption.
