How this is measured
Each percentage comes from games recorded between the two archetypes in competitive tournaments, decayed by age with a 35-day half-life so the numbers track the current meta. A pairing appears only once it has at least two tournaments of evidence, and rates are capped at 25–75% to stop a thin sample reading as a hard counter. Measured 31 October 2026.
