 Historically there was a spreadsheet that had an ever-growing list of

 ## What is the best matchup for the deck?
 
-Cloudpost.
+Post used to be the auto-win matchup where their only hope was either a timely
+:card[Boseiju, who Endures] or Choke and it had to resolve. With Modern Horizons
+3 (the Commander set to be exact), the deck has gained in popularity and the
+matchup has changed drastically. :card[Vexing Bauble] will help their
+:card[Disruptor Flute]s resolve, usually naming the Oracle or Doomsday itself.
+This slows down the game giving them more time to present lethal, or screw your
+pre-established pile entirely.
 
 In the current Legacy meta the best matchups to face are probably Miracles
 variants, non-blue decks and TES. These decks often do not provide much pressure
 and have limited interaction once Doomsday resolves. We also have a lot of
 interaction which means they tend to not have enough disruption to be able to
 stop us.
 
-Death and Taxes, Maverick and Post are good examples of the easier matchups with
-limited interaction. Still, they can display threats in the form of hatebears
-for the 2 formers or larger, game-ending threats for the latter. But often they
-are too slow or get answered easily by Daze. For the green matchups,
-:card[Endurance] requires preparation and proper sequencing but is far from
-being as back-breaking as it is often thought. More details about this in the
-[interaction page](/meandeck/interaction#cheating-on-devotion).

 TES cannot beat the sheer amount of disruption the deck brings to the table nor
