I'll analyze Gruul Ramp's performance in Pauper over the last 3 weeks and its matchups against the top 5 decks.
The overview found Gruul Ramp in Standard, not Pauper. Let me search for it in the correct format:
Found it! Now let me get the winrate and matchups:
Gruul Ramp in Pauper posted a 52.5% overall winrate over the last 3 weeks (21-19 record, excluding draws). With only 9 total entries, the deck represents a fringe presence in the format. The matchup data shows mixed results against the top 5 most-played decks, with significant variance likely due to small sample sizes.
Against the top 5 decks: Red Madness is favorable at 75% (3-1), Jund Midrange is positive at 66.7% (2-1), Red Rally is slightly unfavorable at 40% (2-3), and Mono Blue Terror is the worst matchup at 20% (1-4). The Grixis Affinity sample is too small to draw conclusions (1-0, but only 1 decisive match). The Blue Terror matchup stands out as a clear weakness, suggesting the deck struggles against permission-based control.
