Amazing, with all those cards out there, what ends up being the decks people play and use to win.

It was pretty well-written, and while I know almost literally nothing about the “older” Eternal formats, I can follow along. However, it’d be nice for just a tiny tad bit of information for potential readers that are totally unaware of the decks and whatnot. Thank you for the article!

Welcome to the MTGOAcademy family! This was a well thought out article. I think you missed the popularity of the Slaver Deck in the lead up to Vintage Masters Champs. Maybe you simply called it “Grixis”, but I like to think of those as 2 different decks.

Also, I believe Oath is not played in large numbers on MTGO for 2 reasons. The deck is not as consistent as Delver and Shops (for the reasons you cite), but also I think people absolutely hate playing the mirror. If I knew that no one else would play Oath, I would probably run it no questions asked, but seeing that now Oath is a supposed predator to the “top 2 decks”, I won’t even pick it up because of how miserable the mirror is.

In a real tournament (I mean, non online) any budget non-dredge deck needs to run it in 4 copies.
