The match-level result data appears to be missing (all wins/losses returned as 0), which suggests the result field may be stored differently. Let me check the schema for match results and retry.

Here is the full matchup spread for Pauper Gates over the past 30 days (Aug 23 - Sep 22, 2026), minimum 5 matches. Gates posted a 57.3% overall non-mirror winrate across 31 entries in 20 tournaments.

Favorable matchups (winrate > 50%):

  • Mono Blue Terror: 88.9% (8-1-1, 10 matches) -- dominant
  • White Aggro: 80.0% (4-1, 5 matches)
  • Elves: 80.0% (4-1, 5 matches)
  • Jund Midrange: 70.0% (7-3-2, 12 matches)
  • Spy Combo: 66.7% (6-3, 9 matches)
  • Grixis Affinity: 66.7% (4-2-4, 10 matches -- note 4 draws, likely clock games)
  • Red Madness: 64.3% (9-5, 14 matches) -- most-played matchup

Even matchups:

  • Red Rally: 50.0% (3-3, 6 matches)
  • Gruul Ramp: 50.0% (3-3, 6 matches)

Unfavorable matchups:

  • Tron: 16.7% (1-5-2, 8 matches) -- clear bad matchup

The story is straightforward: Gates looks well-positioned against the field right now, beating or going even with nearly everything except Tron, which represents a significant hole. The Grixis Affinity number looks inflated by draws, so treat that 66.7% with some caution. Red Madness, the most-played deck in the format at 11.65% meta share, is a positive matchup at 64.3%, which is a good sign for Gates overall standing.
