Now let me get the matchup winrates for the top positive-winrate archetypes against both Broodscale and Prowess. I'll focus on Esper Blink, Affinity, Devoted Combo, Boros Energy, Living End, and Azorius Control as the most promising candidates.
Boros Energy and Dimir Frog look interesting - let me also check Dimir Frog and Goryo Reanimator against both targets, and also check the overall winrates of Boros Energy and Dimir Frog to contextualize.
Here is the full matchup picture, @SanctisPie21634:
The data covers Aug 1 - Sep 28, 2026 across 160 Modern tournaments. Broodscale (10.9% meta share, 54.3% WR) and Prowess (10.6% share, 49.4% WR) are the two most-played decks by far, so finding something that beats both is a real challenge. Here is how the top contenders stack up head-to-head against them:
Deck | vs Broodscale | vs Prowess | Overall WR
Boros Energy | 53.7% | 42.2% | 51.1%
Esper Blink | 47.3% | 51.1% | 53.2%
Azorius Control | 46.4% | 59.0% | 51.3%
Devoted Combo | 58.4% | 33.2% | 51.6%
Affinity | 37.9% | 58.2% | 51.8%
The honest answer is that no archetype cleanly beats both targets, but Boros Energy comes closest to the balanced answer you are looking for. It posts a genuine edge against Broodscale (53.7%) while its Prowess number (42.2%) is the weakest spot on paper, yet its 51.1% overall rate shows it is not bleeding equity elsewhere. It is also the third-most represented positive-WR deck with real presence in the field (3.97% meta share), which confirms players are trusting it against the full breadth of the format.
If you want to lean harder into beating Broodscale and can accept a rough Prowess matchup, Devoted Combo at 58.4% vs Broodscale is the most dominant number on the table, but its 33.2% Prowess rate is nearly unplayable. Conversely, Azorius Control smashes Prowess at 59% but sits at 46.4% vs Broodscale. Neither of those is well-positioned against both targets simultaneously. Boros Energy is the best available compromise in the data right now.
