Define recent. Because the numbers don't support that claim. We're somewhere in the 30-40% range, depending on what you look at.Quote:

I know it's early days still but this is the first big look we get. It's also good to see that BUG is not taking over.

I know one data point means nothing overall, but I really like that. It feels like a promising way to start this new chapter.
So, um... ban Deathrite?
Wow, 8 different archetypes in the top 8!

20 Brainstorms, 66 fetches... What exactly does any of this prove?Quote:

Obviously the meta has not settled and one event isn't much to go on anyway. Still, it's interesting to watch the data as it comes in.
Decay will stay, the question on what happens to it is a foolish one. It answers everything from Delver to Bloodmoon. It's so versatile and in a format where Stack based control is seen as king, the ability to put it on the Stack and expect it to resolve is a boon. Decay is not going anywhere. Will it's numbers deminish? A little but I doubt noticeably until there is a good reason to do so.
Decay is the current formats version of Vindicate. It trades some of its effect for resilience. That's not something I would stop playing. Counterbalance was a target, but far from the only one.
I agree with you.
I do think some posters were making the claim that AD numbers were the direct result of Miracles forcing "every deck" to play it. I think like you and don expect a significant decline - except maybe among Storm or Reanimator decks that were trying to shoe-horn them in.
Still,I think there is an expectation that GBx might no longer be the fair-deck goto colours.
Remains to be seen.
106 "Others" seems like a lot, some of these must at least be similar to other archtypes? Like other Delver/Blade type decks at least. Would be cool to see it all grouped.
On Abrupt Decay, of course it will still be a very useful and versatile card, but I think Miracles being gone just allows you to not always need 4 in the 75 and you can feel less guilt about playing cards like Maelstrom Pulse, Toxic Deluge, Diabolic Edict, etc with other upsides in some of the Decay slots. I am leaning towards 2 AD maindeck in most BG decks I am playing now instead of 3 or 4.
