Is it time for the DCI to take action???

Reading a report from last weekend's Central Coast Championship, a few things struct me as odd. Three decks in the Top 8? Hulk, 7/10, and Fish. That's it for the Top 8. Is it just me or does that seem like an unhealthy meta?

And to make things stranger, 14 of the 42 decks (I'm not sure of the exact numbers, but those are in the general area) were Tog (and I'm not sure if these numbers included).

33% of the decks were Tog. One in every three decks was Tog. That's alot of Tog.

Now to me, that doesn't seem good, and I think a change must be made. I'm not suggesting restrictions, but unrestrictions are definately called for. Does anyone else have thoughts on the matter?

One tourament?!?!?!  Your sample size is one tournament.  Think of a new argument.  That one is terrible.

Wow, there are three different decks in the Top 8.  Doesn't that just sound absolutely healthy.  Seriously, quiet down child.

No, see.. the less decks, the more healthy the format. Look at type two, the format that is almost completely DCI regulated. At any time, there are only 3-4 competitive decks, which is a good thing, really. It makes testing and anticipating metagames easier. Only three archetypes in a t8 for type one is EXTREMELY low, I'd even go as far to say its ahead of its time. Maybe the amazing player base at this tournament is a reason.

In summation: less decks = good, more decks = disorganized rogue format.

When good players play good decks.... or decks they are so familiar with, they tend to post good results.  Big deal anyway. Think back to Grow-a-tog or 4 FoF BBS....thats when something actually had to be done.

Look at ANY other tournament T8 and you will see no less than 4 or maybe even 5 different archetypes.  NOw if this happens at Kalamazoo, Dulmen, SCG tourney, Waterbury, and Gencon then do something.
