 Enjoy,

[A.-1.]

I don't know if he posts here but @Israel Muñoz:  Why Bottled Cloister over Grafted Skullcap, especially with Ensnaring Bridge?

Grafted Skullcap  At the beginning of your draw step, draw an additional card.  At the end of your turn, discard your hand.

Am I missing something?

[Jlive00]

Isn't Cloister strictly better?  Both cards cause you to have 0 cards in hand on your opponents turn and both cards let you draw 2 a turn.  Assuming you don't want to cast One With Nothing isn't it just better?

[A.-1.]

Oops. You're right. I saw the deck name, but it didn't click that it was mono-brown. For some reason I thought he was running mono-red with Welders at first.

Bottled Cloister is also better with Razormane Masticore in the board.

[Bone]

Again Mr.Siles place top 8. This time with Counterspells. I don't know if he is on this forum but some question:

Why Counterspells? (I think both Mana Leak, I play mutavault, and Disrupt are better choices, have you tested them?)

Have you testet mutavault?

How happy are you with Riptide Pilfirer instead of Sygg, River Cutthroat (Merrow Reejerey)

[wette]

I'm affraid non of them post in this forum, anyway i'll try to ask them and let you know why they made this choices.

Some statistics to prove that i was right when i lately said that the metagame WAS shifting to "hate drains" decks just after smennen did his last statistic article. The article has been writen 1 month to early to conclude things about restricted list.

40% of the feild for 40% of the top 8 for drains, (penetration aroud 1:1)
20% of the feild for 40% of the top 8 for rod decks... (penetration aroud 2:1)
And ichorid and MUD to round up the top8.... (penetration around 1:1 for ichorid (10% of the feild for 13% top8) and 2:1 for shop (7% of the feild for 13% of the top8))

Drain performed alot just because they are the most played archetypes. And i know that the best spanish players play drains.dec; so overall, i really think that the metagame is good right now, people just shouldplay something else than drain.decks.

That said : Congratz to all the top8ers

[Smmenen]

Mana Drains: 41.4% of the field; 37.5% of top 8
Null Rod Decks: 20% of the field; 37.5% of top 8
Ichorid: 10% of the field; 12.5% of top 8
Workshops: 7.1% of the field; 12.5% of top 8
Dark Ritual decks: 7.1% of the field; 0% of top 8

Mana Drains underperformed by about 3%.

BUT, if you look at the top 8, the Mana Drain decks were:

50% of the top 4
50% of the top 2
Tournament Winner

So, if as you ascend the tournament, Mana Drains became a larger and larger proportion of the field.  


In fact, this field -- rather than suggest that the analysis I presented in the March/April metagame report was premature, helps prove it.

Your metagame is essentially a Drain/Anti-Drain field, and the Drains *still* win.   How can you honestly say that Drain decks "are being answered" when the answers lose when it comes to a head to head matchup against Drains?

As I wrote in my article three weeks ago:

A common objection is that Mana Drain decks don’t need to be answered because they are very beatable. People point to decks that they have designed, or which, in theory should beat Drain decks. This claim has a very simple answer.

Every Deck/Engine in Magic is Beatable, that Doesn’t Mean it isn’t a Problem. Dominant decks/engines are always beatable. In fact, I’m not sure it is possible in Magic to create a deck that can’t be beat. In my experiment with unrestricted Vintage (http://www.starcitygames.com/magic/vintage/16641_So_Many_Insane_Plays_Unrestricted_Vintage_A_Magical_Experiment.html), I discovered that even at that level of insanity you could design a deck to beat any other deck. Just because a deck/engine can be beaten doesn’t mean it isn’t too good from the perspective of the health of the format.

Here is the most important point:   Let's say you are a tournament player and you want to achieve these objective : Win the Tournament.   Let's say you are completely rational, and you want to choose a deck that maximizes your chances for accomplishing that.  

Which deck do you play?

Although Null Rod decks had the best chance of making top 8, if your goal is to win the tournament, the only logical choice is, frankly, a Mana Drain deck.    You will trade off the slight percentage disadvantage that this tournament data reveals for playing a deck that is hands down favored to be the best archetype to make top 4 and eventually win.  

[Neonico]

You'll allways make the numbers say what you want to prove... And show that you were right from the numbers. But seriously, making top8 of a 33+ players tournaments is where the cursor should be. Top8 = prizes. It's where you wanna be.

Let's be honest : you didn't anticipate the rod rise in the metagame, and those numbers (and the results of Bazaar of Moxen III) prove we were right to point you that drain decks were not the decks with the most top8 penetration rate.
And tha't's why i think your metagame breakdown articles are not realistic : they don't compare the feild rate and the top8 rate.

And even the Top4 and top2 results show what i wanted to point you : the metagame was shifting and rod was able to bein the really top of a tournament. There is no problem for me that a deck with 40% top8 appearence are 50% in top 4 and 50% in top 2. Its really close of 1 for 1 penetration rate. And both drain tendrils players are spanish vintage finests, so it helps to  beat the 1/4 ans 1/2 finals opponents.

So, if as you ascend the tournament, Mana Drains became a larger and larger proportion of the field.  

The numbers prove that is wrong.... 40% compared to 40%top8, 50% top 4 and 50% top 2 proves that it is wrong. The penetration rate of drain decks is perfectly fair for me.

Which deck do you play?
Although Null Rod decks had the best chance of making top 8, if your goal is to win the tournament, the only logical choice is, frankly, a Mana Drain deck.    You will trade off the slight percentage disadvantage that this tournament data reveals for playing a deck that is hands down favored to be the best archetype to make top 4 and eventually win.  

The data you use for your breackdown article is top8 data. So it's really bad forme to use top8 datas to prove that a deck has the best shot to win a tournament. If you use top8 datas, you should compare top8 appearance.
And to be honest, regarding the data only, i would play a Rod deck to have the best shot to win a tournnament. SImply because to win a tournament, you first need to be top8.  ANd another factor you perhaps ignore is that there are final splits.

In this tournamenet, 1 rod deck out of 20 (5%) did top 2. Drain deck results is 2 out of 29 (6,8%) so if it's a little better for drain decks, it so close that i allways would have a best shot to make top 8 with my deck choice and having a bad top8 shot, than the opposite. Simply because you can also just top8and face your bad matchup in quarter final and loose.

[Smmenen]

It's just puzzling that you have a metagame that is Mana Drain / Anti-Mana Drain, where the anti-Mana Drain decks are incapable of winning the tournament, and you hold this up as a 'healthy/balanced' metagame.

It very clearly resembles a 'dominant deck' metagame, not a balanced, healthy one.

I would like nothing more for you to be right that the metagame can adjust, but the facts don't support it.  Even if Mana Drain decks put up lower proportions of Top 8s relative to the field as compared to, say, Null decks, Mana Drain decks give you the absolute best chance of winning a tournament once you are in a top 8. Mana Drain decks, for example, were only 42.5% of Top 8s, but they were 66% of tournament wins in March and April.

This pattern holds here.  They are about 40% of the top 8, but 50% of the top 4, 50% of the top 2, and 100% of the winner.

There is another point: we look at data over time for a reason.   Top 8 data over time actually tells us everything.   If a deck is underperforming the field relative to another deck, then it only takes 2 people to play the better performing deck and change the composition of a top 8 dramatically.    This is because it only takes one person in a field of (of at least 33 players) to help a deck reach 12.5% of top 8s!    That is, as little as 1% of the field has to change to make a 12.5% change in the percentage of Top 8s stat.   And if 2 players make top 8 with the new archetype, you have huge changes in the overall top 8 pie.  


 

[Neonico]

The data of Bazar of Moxen, where i think that drain decks were alot more than 40% of the feild, tend to prove the same results.
But okay, i don't think that i need to argue anymore about that. what i wanted to point out is that we don't need unrestricts to beat drain decks. And tournament results prove that. Rod is the natural answer. The metagame is adjusting by himself. And unrestrict a card that totally wreck the decks that beat drains decks is just the worst answer you could give to a metagame you consider wrapped. Just because rod decks will die, when drain decks will just adapt to face an possible 4xBalance problematic matchup (Spellsnare for example).

[Smmenen]

The fact that Mana Drains are 40% of the field tells you something in and of itself.   Alot of people, correctly, think that Mana Drains are the best deck.    They may not have the highest top 8 penetration rate relative to the field, but they give you the best chance of winning the tournament.  

This just proves how distorted the metagame is.   Everyone is aiming at Drains, trying to beat them, and not even succeeding!  

As I said, every deck can be beaten.   That's not the issue.   The issue is metagame diversity/health.    Mana Drains might be beaten by some Fish decks, but if those Fish decks can't win tournaments because they lose to a large chunk of the rest of the field, hypothetically, then it cannot be said that a) THe Fish decks are the metagame answer OR b) that the metagame is balanced or healthy.

I ran the statistics at the March Waterbury, which you can read here, and the trend is not totally dissimilar from what you found.   The proportion of Drains in the field was 37.5%, and the proportion of Drains in the top 16 was about 43%.   You have a very unhealthy, imbalanced field.   If Drains were underperformers relative to the field, then we would see it in the changing composition of top 8s as players in the field at large switch, one at a time, to the superior performers.   It only takes 1 person to do that to make a difference.

[FlyFlySideOfFry]

As I've said for a while the problem is that the anti-key/vault (drain) decks aren't stable enough for laser vision these decks take. Hate decks just don't have enough deck slots to handle Ichorid+Tinker+Will(AKA engines)+Key/Vault+Tezz+Oath+Aggro+Shops. Does the fact that you can change your win condition matter? No, drain decks are still drain decks and they're still an obnoxiously high percentage of the metagame. Neonico your logic is horrible does that mean that if a deck is 100% of the metagame and takes 100% of T-8s it is a healthy metagame because it is only 1-1 penetration? What if it is 90% of the metagame and has 80% T-8s? Is that a healthy metagame? What if a deck is so obnoxiously difficult to pilot that only 1 person in all of Vintage has the balls to run it in a tournament and takes first place every single time? 1% of the metagame but 100% of T-8s by your logic that deck is a huge problem even if only 1 person plays it and it is ridiculously easy to hate out but nobody does just because it isn't played.

I agree that unrestricting Balance seems like a terrible idea. (Even though I understand that by killing Fish you strengthen Combo, which brings us back to the 3-4 pillars) However, the fact that you're opposing all unrestriction, even cards that naturally destroy Drains without becoming crazy percents of the metagame (AKA Gush), just shows that you are ignoring every piece of data collected in some sort of obnoxious prayer that Null Rods will solve all your problems. Just look at the SS Tezz deck posted in the discussion forum. That thing is massively scary for any hate deck player. I mean if combo can't hold that monster back and the DCI does nothing welcome to at least 60% Drains. 2-color mana base, 12 viable anti-Fish counters, no dead cards against you, and the best win conditions and draw engines in Vintage, gg? Smmenen's data and conclusions from that data are perfectly logical, yours just don't make sense. The tournament results don't prove your point they prove Smmenen's point, you're just drawing arbitrary conclusions from the data.

Archetype diversity is the key to a healthy metagame, not % penetration as you suggest. (and definitely not the fact that one Drain deck is 10 cards different from another Drain deck and so has a different name as some people seem to have suggested in other threads) The fact that over 80% of the metagame is either Drains or pure anti-drains is just stupidly unhealthy and uniform. I really don't see how you can say this is healthy without being sarcastic and I definitely don't see how you can still think that after a year Fish will pull a miracle out of its ass and tame drains.

PS: Thank you very much Roger for the fantastic breakdown of this tournament. It was very insightful and if every tournament result had that kind of breakdown cancer would be cured and there would be world peace. Not really, but I think it is safe to say that everyone who has read this report would like to extend their gratitude for the amazing effort you put into doing that. I feel like I just snuck in to some amazing premium section. <3
