Metagame Strategy — Non-Obvious Findings
Damage ≠ kills: Murktide Regent deals the most damage (1248) but Consider gets the most kills (56). The closer and the damage engine are different cards — don't evaluate them the same way.
Sideboard asymmetry: vs 4c Omnath, G1 WR is 80% but match WR drops to 52% (-28pp). Opponent adapts better post-board.
Removal blind spot: Phlage from 4c Omnath deals 48 damage and is likely outside your mainboard removal range. Consider SB answers for this axis.
Weighted gap -4.1pp: This deck underperforms at top tables vs the field. Struggles against popular decks — consider adapting your SB for the T1 field.
