KEY TAKEAWAYS
Azorius Control thrives against fast spell-based combo (Ruby Storm, Neobrand) and creature-light midrange (Prowess, Devoted Combo, Esper Blink), where counterspells and Teferi, Time Raveler carry significant equity. The Dimir Frog matchup is a serious liability at 25.6% — the lowest of any tracked matchup — likely because Psychic Frog and discard spells put the control player in a losing attrition battle. Broodscale (12.1% meta share, the format's most played deck) is also a negative matchup at 45.3%, which drags down overall equity. Sample sizes on Neobrand and Fight Rigging Eldrazi are small enough (10 and 24 matches respectively) that those figures should be treated with caution.
