KEY TAKEAWAYS: Izzet Terror has clear wins against midrange and aggro shells (Elves, Jund, Red Madness, Grixis Affinity), but gets punished badly by Tron (0-9), Jeskai Ephemerate (0-4 decisive), White Aggro (30.8%), and Aura Bogles (0-3). With those three troublesome archetypes combining for roughly 13.9% of the meta, that explains its below-average overall winrate. Caution is warranted on sample sizes for several matchups (under 6 matches).
