Now let me fetch matchup data against the top meta archetypes all at once!

Here's your full tournament prep breakdown! Note that I can provide the data-backed analysis here, but for specific sideboard card recommendations, you'll want to consult a deck-building resource — I'll focus on where to allocate those sideboard slots based on EV.

🧮 Fight Rigging Eldrazi — Sideboard Priority Analysis

Overall record last 30 days: 50.0% WR across 416 entries. Squarely average — meaning your sideboard is the edge.

🔴 BAD Matchups — Shore These Up First

High meta share + bad WR = most expected losses

MatchupMeta ShareYour WRPriority
Devoted Combo4.45%27.9%🚨 Must address
Living End2.47%23.5%🚨 Must address
Neobrand2.35%29.4%🚨 Must address
Goryo Reanimator8.89%45.8%⚠️ High priority
Esper Blink6.91%42.7%⚠️ High priority
Ruby Storm2.92%41.5%⚠️ Consider
Boros Energy3.87%45.9%⚠️ Consider

Key insight: Living End, Devoted Combo, and Neobrand are near-unwinnable pre-board (<30% WR). Goryo Reanimator at 8.89% meta share is the highest-priority target — it's your most frequent bad matchup.

🟡 MEDIUM Matchups — Selectively Addressable

MatchupMeta ShareYour WR
Broodscale10.5%50.0%
Dimir Frog3.41%52.5%

These are coin flips — if a few sideboard slots can tilt them, great, but don't over-invest.

🟢 GOOD Matchups — Leave Alone

MatchupMeta ShareYour WR
Prowess10.9%58.9%
Affinity5.65%63.9%
Azorius Control2.52%59.4%
Tron4.39%68.8%
Boros Ponza2.86%78.6%

Don't dilute your game plan for these — you already win them. Prowess and Tron together represent 15.3% of the meta and you're crushing both.

📌 Strategic Recommendation

Focus: Bad matchups, weighted by meta share.

The math here is clear:

  • Goryo Reanimator (8.89%) is by far your #1 sideboard target — nearly 1 in 9 matches, and you're losing nearly 55% of them.
  • Devoted Combo, Living End, Neobrand (combined ~9.3%) are near-auto-losses. Even going from 25% → 45% WR post-board against those three could gain you ~2 match wins across a large event.
  • Esper Blink (6.91%) is your second most-frequent bad matchup and worth slots.

⚠️ Note: I can tell you where to target, but specific card recommendations require strategic context beyond what this tool provides. Take this priority list to a brewing resource or your testing group to find the right hate pieces!
