performance of boros burn in the last 30 days in modern

I need to get the correct archetype ID and check for Modern format specifically. Let me search again:

🛠️Get Meta Report
🛠️QueryBurn Archetype Performance in November 2025

I see there's a "burn" archetype with 11 entries but 0 wins/losses/draws shown (likely a query issue with mirrors). Let me get the proper performance data:

Boros Burn Performance in Modern (Last 30 Days)

Overall Performance: Struggling

Burn has had a rough month in Modern with only 11 tournament entries across 10 events:

  • Winrate: 25.9% (15-43-1 non-mirror record)
  • Meta presence: <1% (not in top 20 archetypes)

This is a significant underperformance compared to top-tier decks like Boros Energy (54.2% WR), Affinity (51.9%), and Simic Ritual (52.9%).

Archetype Composition:
The deck remains true to its classic shell with universal staples:

  • Lightning Bolt, Monastery Swiftspear, Goblin Guide (100% inclusion, 4x each)
  • Skewer the Critics (3.83 avg), Searing Blaze (3.58 avg)
  • Lava Spike & Boros Charm (92% inclusion)
  • Boltwave (92% inclusion) - newer tech for reach

Context:
Burn's struggles align with the current Modern meta dominated by Jeskai Blink (14.3% presence, 50% WR) and midrange energy strategies that can stabilize with life gain and efficient removal. The small sample size (11 entries) suggests the archetype has fallen out of favor among competitive players.
