Mono-green broodscale or Fight Rigging, which is better against the local metagame that has lots of Goryo's Vengeance and Izzet Prowess

Let me pull data on both archetypes and their matchups against Goryo's Vengeance and Izzet Prowess simultaneously!

I need to search more specifically for Mono-Green Broodscale in Modern, and also find the correct Modern versions of Goryo's Vengeance and Izzet Prowess!

Good, got Broodscale! Now let me search for Goryo's and Izzet Prowess in Modern specifically, and kick off the matchup queries in parallel.

Got all four archetypes. Now let me run all four matchup queries in parallel!

Here's the full breakdown based on the last 60 days of Modern data:

🌿 Broodscale vs. Fight Rigging: Matchup Analysis

vs. Goryo Reanimator

DeckWLWinrateSample
Broodscale22118554.4% ✅406 matches
Fight Rigging Eldrazi798747.6% ❌166 matches

Broodscale has a meaningful edge here — it's a favored matchup. Fight Rigging is actually slightly unfavored against Goryo's.

vs. Prowess (Izzet)

DeckWLWinrateSample
Broodscale26824552.2% ✅513 matches
Fight Rigging Eldrazi1138058.6% ✅193 matches

Fight Rigging absolutely dominates Prowess. Its big Eldrazi bodies and life cushion from Rumble/Disciple are very hard for Prowess to race through. Broodscale is slightly favored but much less so.

🏆 Verdict

Given your local meta has lots of both Goryo's and Prowess, here's the honest picture:

  • Broodscale is more consistent across both matchups — favored against Goryo's (~54%) and slightly positive vs Prowess (~52%). A solid all-around choice.
  • Fight Rigging Eldrazi is a specialist vs Prowess (58.6%!) but is a liability against Goryo Reanimator (47.6%). If Prowess is the bigger concern, Fight Rigging may be the call — but it's a real risk if Goryo's tables are numerous.

Overall edge: Broodscale, especially if Goryo's is as prevalent as Prowess in your meta.
