Kinda surprised at the lack of Dimir Midrange and mono red, especially since they seemed to perform pretty well. I know these types of tournament metas are really insular/unique but still.

I watch at least a decent amount of Standard on Twitch (mostly @shehar_shenhar) and don't think I've ever seen Bant Airbending. It had 16 players (!) and a terrible 35% win rate. What's up with that? Was UR just too good against it? I can't imagine missing so badly with that deck.

I wonder if it was just a bad meta call or it was just the shiny new toy that didn't live up to the hype
