Jordan Selesnick matches vs Prowess can be seen below as a screenshot from Google Sheets:
Jordan’s matchup vs prowess is excellent. He lost one match in the whole 18 rounds (vs prowess, round 2), which is a testament to the format. What I mean by that is that the current standard format is beautifully diverse, and even in your best matchups you can lose 20-30% of the time.
Jordan Selesnick vs MGL
Jordan Selesnick matches vs MGL can be seen below as a screenshot from Google Sheets:
Jordan won all matches vs mono green landfall, dropping only two out of twelve games. I’d be very curious to see what he brought in from that sideboard. Requision Raid, Pyhric Strike, Disdainful Stroke, and Avatars Wrath seem like good bets vs MGL.
