As per other discussions, the GP meta was hyper-aggro, Miracles, and Omni. Omni is way better when you aren't worried about a bunch of collateral damage from Delver decks maxing counterspells. SnS doesn't lean nearly as heavily on resolving Show, and has better SB diversity because you aren't fueling a wish-board. Omni is a strong vertical, tree branch approach. SnS is much simpler, but it goes much wider.
Based on the D1 media, I would make the bold statement that the Japanese meta really doesn't like Midrange, Value-oriented strategies. At all. And 7 DnT players on D2 is amusing - I am surprised not to see a bigger showing.

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.
Nobody wants to know what decks are meant with 'others'? Surely, I'm not the only one...
Fall to everything? The deck is way too forgiving for that.
I think the biggest thing is the deep seeded emotional understanding that the right play is the right play regardless of outcomes. The ability to make a decision 5 straight times, lose 5 times because of it, and still make it the 6th time if it's the right play. - Jon Finkel

Next time they will call it "Big Robots", don't worry.
