Matt Bevenour in real life
MTGO is a good indicator for trends, though, as it moves faster. And the current trend is shitloads of people playing UR Delver, in both MTGO and paper (as witnessed at Eternal Weekend).
My question is what's the cause of the declining number of Miracle players online, especially in the light of Eternal Top 8 which has zero Miracle decks.
Looking at the latest MTGGoldfish stats, there's pretty much no decline in Miracles placing thus far. Only real difference is UR Delver overtaking the other two powerhouses, Elves & Shardless, blisteringly fast.
The seven cardinal sins of Legacy:
1. Discuss the unbanning ofLand TaxEarthcraft.
2. Argue that banning Force of Will would make the format healthier.
3. Play Brainstorm without Fetchlands.
4. Stifle Standstill.
5. Think that Gaea's Blessing will make you Solidarity-proof.
6. Pass priority after playing Infernal Tutor.
7. Fail to playtest against Nourishing Lich (coZ iT wIlL gEt U!).
Much diversity.
Many Delvers.
Such powerful insect.
Wow!
WotC's FFL finally let another nut loose.

Playing since '96. Brief forced break '02-04. Former/Idle Judge since '05. Told Smmenen to play faster at Vintage Worlds.

Most of the 'Ban brainstorm!' arguments are based on the logic that 'more different cards should get played in Legacy', as though the success or health of the format can be measured by the portion of cards that are available and see play. This is an idiotic metric.
Sol-based decks fall prey to their own inconsistency.
My best bet right now to combat this kind of stupidity is D&T with multiple Spirits MD.
Nice boat you have there, let me tap Vial for 2.
Play something like SnT + Batterskull hybrid? Resolved SnT just rek those fair decks.
IIRC (based on hear se mind) Europe has always had a more developed legacy scene due to a stronger abundance of staples (Europe had BoM whereas the us has nothing close to it), and people tend to play there pet decks more there
Whereas in the us, people tend to play what they see on stream as they may play legacy a handful of times, delver being super consistent means people see it more.
