Questions
What beats Selesnya Enchantress in Premodern?
Across the last 90 days, Naya Terragedon (62% over 13 matches) and Psychatog (67% over 6 matches) hold the best recorded results against Selesnya Enchantress. 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 Selesnya Enchantress?
We do not have sideboard choices tied to individual matches, so this is not a sideboard guide. What the data supports is narrower: the 2 decks with the best records against Selesnya Enchantress — Naya Terragedon and Psychatog — most commonly run Tormod's Crypt, Pyroclasm, Engineered Plague, Annul and Hydroblast in their sideboards. Those are whole-sideboard frequencies across every matchup those decks play.
What does Selesnya Enchantress beat?
Selesnya Enchantress's best recorded matchups over the same window are Mono-Blue Stiflenought (65% across 26 matches) and The Rock (80% across 5 matches). If you are picking a deck to attack Selesnya Enchantress with, these are the ones the record argues against.
How reliable are these Premodern 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 27 of those for Selesnya Enchantress 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 Premodern metagame are excluded from the ranking, which removes 3 pairings here — their historical records are still on Selesnya Enchantress's own archetype page and in the format matchup matrix.
