Mull into oblivion is so negative. I prefer going more all-in 😎
And to be honest it's one 9 round tournament and one 6 round. Considering that the consistent decks trickle upwards, I think making day 2 would be harder than having a good run on day 2 itself.
What do I know about day 2's. I'm just a red mage

List of some often discussed popular cards and their numbers in top 16 of a possible 64:
Brainstorm: 52 (81%)
Force: 51 (80%)
Ponder: 40 (63%)
Gitaxian Probe: 19 (30%)
Preordain: 4 (6%)
DRS: 24 (38%)
Delver: 20 (31%)
Decay: 8 (13%)
Wasteland: 39 (61%)
Polluted Delta: 30 (47%)
Flooded Strand: 29 (45%)
Scalding Tarn: 27 (42%)
Misty: 14
Arid: 2
Windswept: 2
Foothills: 2
Catacombs: 2
Flats: 2
Mire: 1
So yea, those that said abrupt decay was popular just because it was a good card, not because of top miracles, and said that its numbers would stay up after the ban...
38% DRS is pretty high for a creature, but delver isn't that far behind.
Brainstorm penetration is disturbingly high for my tastes, but that's just my tastes. One blue mage decided to go rogue and only register 3 FoW with his 4 BS. They are the kind of people that don't vaccinate their kids because everyone else has vaccinated theirs.
Obviously this is just top 16, can't wait for the meta break down for day 1 and day 2 if we are lucky...
Junk and Stoned Rhinos.
Lands and D&T managed to do well - and Lands runs the least consistent card in the format!
If consistency were the most important thing, we'd see more Burn (the most consistent deck in all of MTG). The only thing that's important in a deck is it's match-ups (win-rates) against the other decks in the field. If a deck isn't getting results, either:Of course we can't read too much into a single event - even a large event. Like the time MUD made top8 in a GP in 2014.
- It has a poor average win-rate against the field, and/or
- It not being played in high enough numbers.
