I know there were more, but 3 placements total is hardly a ringing endorsement. You have access to total composite format data. Wow me or don't bother.
Did a DeckCheck on Doran, and it has a 230 top 8's (since it was introduced), but only 7 in the current format (MRD-ZEN). I don't know what it lost, but everyone can agree it definitely isn't Tier one anymore. Too many options are generally better.

Everyone knows that good luck and good game are such insincere terms that any man who does not connect his right hook with the offender's jaw on the very utterance of such a phrase is no man I would consider as such.
I think someone posting it on Deckcheck.com is the only way this would happen, along with Star City Games and individual TOs posting the results for their own PTQs online. Not that it is only 1/9 and PTQs run until April. Much more to go.

Who was running the Bant Zoo decks if anyone knows.
Tom Renger took second place at the Boston PTQ on Jan 9th. The other two "Bant Zoo" decks you are referring to are actually just Zoo decks that splashed blue for MD Bant charm, and sideboard negate and/or meddling mage. This bant/zoo hybrid is becoming increasingly popular due to the best deck "Zoo" having access to two or three of the best "cheap" control cards in the format (bant charm, negate, meddling mage). It gives Zoo a whole new game against Scapeshift and Dark Depths (not to mention a few others) especially game one where it was close to auto loss. Any Bant questions I'd love to answer as I played it last ext season and may play it again this season. I'm a big fan of its versatility in a very open environment with solid game against a majority of current tier 1 and 2 archetypes.
