Questions
What beats Domain Zoo in Modern?
No active Modern archetype currently holds a winning record against Domain Zoo over 5 or more recorded matches in the last 90 days. That is a statement about what we have recorded, not a claim that Domain Zoo is unbeatable.
What does Domain Zoo beat?
Domain Zoo's best recorded matchups over the same window are Mono-Green Basking Broodscale Combo (56% across 9 matches), Dimir Midrange (60% across 5 matches) and Eldrazi (60% across 5 matches). If you are picking a deck to attack Domain Zoo with, these are the ones the record argues against.
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 33 of those for Domain Zoo 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 Domain Zoo'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.
