Thought it might be. I'm just Roots/Terra pulled if I'm not trying to Bounce things haha
24.11.2025 18:39 — 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0Might be going too deep into the tank - but is there a Roots version of this deck that might pop off?
Not sure Earthbending lands coming back trigger it, but Dirge & Overlord do. Esper Origins could then be the Trample enabler backup.
Plus Roots adds counters to Ouroboroid - which adds to all!
With this thread for context - here is the definitive re-structed Metagame Breakdown for all 4 RC's this weekend!
3,392 decks became 159 Archetypes (minus the no deck list Players)

Today some hot constructed data - I put together the results from EU, US and Canada RCs in Modern and here are the win rates. Since we are measuring unsure numbers - displayed as 95% confidence intervals (so we are 95% sure the real WR is within the bars for each deck.
1/9
Okay if you promise to watch my video when I publish it here's also the H2H Matrix for the Top *11* decks because 2 tied in META%
@fanfinity.bsky.social @facetofacegames.bsky.social @mtgjp.bsky.social @scgcon.bsky.social @fireshoes.bsky.social
I'll be saving some of this work (H2H & More) to go over in my video later, but one last look at how all the decks did overall this weekend. Congrats to everyone!

Here are the Top 10 Winningest Decks across the Events. 1st image is Sample Size doesn't matter - the 2nd is 5+ deck lists only!
@fanfinity.bsky.social @facetofacegames.bsky.social @mtgjp.bsky.social @scgcon.bsky.social @fireshoes.bsky.social
As for some other metrics, here's a look at the Popularity decks from C rank & above!
You needed to have 21 or more decks to be "C" Popular or more this weekend across all 4 Events!

Side note - I then changed all Belcher lists to "Tameshi Belcher", all "Mono-Green Titan" to "Amulet Titan" & all Dredge decks w/ Phoenix to "Arclight Dredge"
There was just not enough difference in the lists to make them unique archetypes.
Not all of the decks in these archetypes were changed - IE not all Izzet Affinity became Izzet Metalcraft - just some of the lists in there were labeled incorrectly!
This took a HOT MINUTE to do since I don't have @meleeplatform.bsky.social API access so this was done by hand
Hello everyone, I'm back up for a breath of fresh air after being in the data for a few hours!
I had to verify 141 archetypes, changing 84 of them to correct for mislabeling, trolling, or different names across Events!
Here's what I updated!
#MagicTheGathering #MTG #MTGModern
Hey random Aether of the Internet!
If a deck has:
4x Samwise Gamgee & the Combo
1x Yawgmoth, Thran Physician & 3x+ Young Wolf
4x Birthing Ritual
What do you call it?
I'm on just calling it Samwise Gamgee Combo, as that's how it has evolved over time.
But is it Yawg? Ritual?
It was a tangle of limbs tripping down the stairs where each team hurt themselves more - but it was a fight!

After 4 Events in a weekend, the serene view of an emptying Convention Center is a sad sight for viewers to see & a hard-earned rest for all the amazing staff that ground out fantastic content for us.
GGs @fanfinity.bsky.social @scgcon.bsky.social @facetofacegames.bsky.social @mtgjp.bsky.social
Consolidating decks like "Izzet" and "Simic" later will be easy, just time consuming
Figuring out "Simic Titan" & "Titan" & "Mono G Titan" etc is going to be more difficult
Combining 4 Events is going to be long, I'm optimistic I get my recap out Monday but still have work/IRL
"I'll just do one recap video for the 2 Events this weekend"
"Oh, there's 4 Events this weekend. I'll just fit the 2 small ones in here too"
"Oh, I guess I did recaps for all of them individually"
I accidentally tryharded by trying to get ahead of video work 🤣
Aaaand here's the overall (so WIN%-T is what you want) + Day 2 Conversion/META% for Vegas!

My wife ran an ultra marathon today & is recovering on the couch next to me
I bought a Bundle of Avatar to open together since we both love the show, her for the art specifically
Her pack luck is better than mine, here's her first pull 🤣
