Questions
What beats Amulet Titan in Modern?
Across the last 90 days, Rakdos Midrange (71% over 7 matches) and Goryo's Vengeance (57% over 7 matches) hold the best recorded results against Amulet Titan. Records come from events that publish round-by-round pairings, and both decks in a match have to be identified for it to count, so these are the pairings we can see rather than every match played.
What should I bring in against Amulet Titan?

How reliable are these Modern matchup numbers?
Not very, and the page says so per row rather than in aggregate. Every pairing shows its match count, its sample band and a 95% range; the strongest band we award is 20+ matches, which is still roughly a ±20-point range around the figure shown. Pairings under 5 matches are counted but never given a percentage — there are 19 of those for Amulet Titan right now. Rankings use the bottom of each range rather than the headline percentage, so a small sample cannot outrank a large one it has not earned.
What period does this cover?
Matches played in the last 90 days, filtered on when each match was actually played. Archetypes that have dropped out of the Modern metagame are excluded from the ranking — their historical records are still on Amulet Titan's own archetype page and in the format matchup matrix.
What each number on this site measures, and where it is least reliable, is set out on the methodology page.
