@Erta Wanderer thank you for putting this together, it's great to see a start to some stats! Would it be doable to add stats for the Seraphon vs. Seraphon matches? (e.g., coalesced vs. starborne). (Also really funny seeing some of the 1-of choices and being like oops that was mine. P.S. didn't get any 6s from Purple Sun in the only match I cast it)
That is a plan but at the moment the only tournament that has had a mirror match that I have information on would be butchers buffet and that round is still ongoing. If you have recording is the matches I would love to go over them at the moment I'm just working off to the TTT website

Mirror match total games 2 Fangs of Sotek wins 2 Thunder lizards loss 1 Koatles Claw loss 1 beyond that i can only speculate as i didn't see the matches at hand both winning lists seems to be skink spam sotek lists supported by kroak while the losers are specialist lists that lack bodies. coalesed doesn't seem to like mirror matches as star born ignore most of what they can bring to the table and our general fragility falls quickly to mass skinks. mirror matches also counter one of our best assets 2 kroaks facing off makes our hero targeting damage sporadic.
I was the one using the thunder lizard list, coalesced just cannot really cope with the mortal wounds from skink based lists, the bastiladons will quickly crack and a unit of skinks should take 1 down without trouble in a turn. otherwise saurus things will get shot and even if they get a charge then they can get hit by parting shot anyway
The 0/3 vs OBR is interesting, that used to be a favorable matchup for us. It's one of my most played, I have a friend that plays OBR, and most of our games are very close. I'm thinking it's because now they've shifted towards Katakros lists and he does a few things that uniquely counter what we're trying to do. Stealing CP, -1 to hit on sallies or skinks, and a big one is healing 3 wounds to 3 different units each turn, which is huge because Kroak does chip mortals spread across several targets which gets countered by this type of healing specifically. He's also pretty hard to bring down with proper screening, there have been a few games I either didn't put enough into him to finish him off, or dedicated too much without killing him and he healed back over a double turn. It's hard to judge, the last 2 games I just ignored him and killed off mortek. Also, the crawlers special ammo is pretty good at sniping Kroak straight up due to his low wound count for his price, which is normally shored up via guard, which doesn't help in this niche scenario. Anyone have any further thoughts on this matchup?
the best way to beat OBR has always been to out body them and win a objective game 2 of the fights hear where thunder lizard so that is a good chunk of why we are doing poorly.
people stopped taking salamanders. I still take double salamanders DT and the matchup is pretty easy. to elaborate further, fangs of sotek is easily picked apart by catapults. They focus the heroes and your 40 man skink blobs become useless. Unbuffed skinks are terrible. Salamanders are always good and don't need support so you take away the effectiveness of some of the catapults. The deep strike allows you to hide the units you want to protect from them, and with guard they cannot one shot your slanns, allowing you to deep strike your salamanders and melt stuff before taking wounds.
That's pretty much how the FoS vs Koatles Claw went. The parting shot and threat of teleport made it possible to tear apart the Koatles threats. The Kroak vs. Kroak was hilarious (both supported by an astrolith bearer), the FoS one barely got anything off and the KT one literally got nearly everything off and nearly single handedly decimated the skink blobs.
