Overall, while Temporal Fissures and the 8 post engine are still somewhat oppressive, all the other decks that weren’t directly affected by the BnR are still alive, as are many rogue decks. So on the 1 hand we have 2 archetypes that dominate the field, on the other hand we have tremendous variety outside of these 2 archetypes. Also both archetypes consist of a variety of decks themselves, though all of the different varieties within each archetype work in the same way pretty much. So looking into the health of the format, there are 2 ways to look at it. The first is that there’s a very high chance of facing either the 8 post engine or Temporal Fissures, oftentimes both in the same deck. The second is that you can still be very competitive without playing either Temporal Fissures or 8 post, or even pick 1 of these powerhouses and make your own version using said powerhouse. Whether this is considered healthy or not is up to each individual’s point of view.

Anyway though great article as always and I to hope that someone busts up the format any day now with something new and exciting.

If enough people were involved, it may actually be possible to start breaking each person’s work into rounds rather than full events. Let me know if you would be interested in something like that and I’m on board.
