8Cast has fallen off the map a little bit in the past year, as evidenced by the fact that the data sheets only have 237 entries recorded for that deck. Of these, PO has been one of the long standing pieces of the format for quite a while and continues to be a reasonable way to approach the Tinker archetype.
In addition to the more midrange aspect Tinker decks, also within the Tinker macro archtetype is decks like Paradoxical Outcome and 8Cast.
#DOMINATIONS BASE LAYOUTS HOW TO#
There's plenty of ways to attack the game plans of these decks and they also have a reasonable skill floor to learning how to pilot them well. That being said, the overall performance of this deck is very reasonable and it seems like despite its overall popularity the deck has settled into a part of the format where it's good, but not overbearing or broken to the point of sheer domination. The flexibility of these decks is very high and thus one of the reasons why players gravitate to them as playable options. These decks are basically big blue decks with a Tinker package (usually Bolas's Citadel) and Saga as a beat down game plan. Right now the biggest thing is the sheer popularity of the Tinker Saga decks as one of premier strategies of the format.
With that being said, let's see what this is telling us about the current state of Vintage. In addition, we have a firm classification on UR Murktide as a deck now that has been popping up over time and is now a fairly stable presence in the overall metagame. Some of the major changes made to classifications since the last time we looked at this was fixing and reclassifying the Tinker decks to be more in line with how they actually look, which is to say Tinker with Urza's Saga. Let's start with the charts and see how things are stacking up. This is quite a bit! As always, we are really thankful to Justin and the people that collect this data because without it we wouldn't be able to have these kinds of great overviews of the metagame. This data goes all the way back to (the release of Modern Horizons 2) and comprises 8,475 entries of data. You can find the most current and up to date Metagame Dashboard sheet right here for this project. There have also been some changes on the front of the data collection effort led by Justin Gennari and the Vintage Streamer's Discord that better help exemplify how certain decks and strategies are classified. It has been a hot minute since we last looked at a metagame update, so I think it's a good time to visit in and see where things are sitting.
#DOMINATIONS BASE LAYOUTS UPDATE#
Without further ado, let's dive right in! Vintage in July: A Metagame Update In addition to that we've got some Challenge data to speak about and of course, a Spice Corner! Howdy folks! It's time yet again for another edition of Vintage 101! I'm your host, Joe Dyer, and this week we're going to be looking at the current state of Vintage for the month and seeing where the metagame falls for the moment.
