It's not based upon any numbers (as of now) but there hasn't really been a time in Legacy after Mental Misstep where there wasn't either Sneak Attack or OmniTell. And with Dig Through Time gone I can't really think of any other logical solution than Sneak Attack.

Can confirm. Got slapped by more sneaky spaghetti monster surprise me in my sleep during the last 2 weeks than in the entire TC/DTT era.
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!).
And during the Mental Misstep era there was Hive Mind, which was a close cousin. As long as we're touching on Legacy history, Show and Tell's first breakout performance was, I believe, in the Dream Halls deck that took down a 270-player event in Frankfurt, Germany, at the beginning of 2010. Before that, Show and Tell was a few bucks at most. I had several copies in my binder, and after Dream Halls won that tournament out of nowhere, I was able to trade some for $10 apiece. Seemed a great deal at the time, but obviously WOTC had to screw everything up and print absurdly powerful cards as if they forgot about the legions of other cards they printed over the years that cheat things into play. There really was a time in Legacy before Show and Tell ...
yup -> survival of the fittest

why cards are so expensive...hoarders
ESG is right, the first time we saw Show and Tell do some actual work was also the last big tournament Survival of the Fittest was legal in. It was won by some list using it to put either Dreams Halls or Progenitus into play; also featured 4 copies of Cruel Ultimatum and Conflux:

It was slightly more interesting to play/play against, however, make no mistake about it, most games were still: Show and Tell -> Dream Halls -> conflux -> 'win' or Dream Halls -> conflux -> 'win' or Show and Tell into Progenitus.
But back then I atleast had some respect for the deck as with Dream halls you still had to have enough cards in your hand and the symmetrical effect of the card could cause interesting situations (Pitch Dark Ritual for Ad Nauseam into silence comes to mind ). But I digress
