It completely dominated everything, but as these things go people managed to beat it just a couple weeks later (which lead to Mono Black Devotion).
My point is that while this PT is a definite warning sign, we do not need an emergency ban. Give it a couple weeks/months and see what people come up with. If the deck still can't be contained at a reasonable cost (obviously you can't make yourself soft to everything else in the process) then lets open up the conversation to a banning. That means April at the earliest and probably the SOI release more practically.
There are answers to Chalice, remember when it spiked a few months ago because of hype? Let me use Infect as an example, they already run Viridian Corrupter MB to deal with Spellskite. It wouldn't be that unreasonable to run even more of them.
With the price spike on Eye of Ugin when would be the best time to sell? Do you think that they would get an emergency banning?
Give it through Friday for all of the "Eldrazi is the best deck" articles to get printed and the third round buyouts to happen, then sell into the hype next weekend.

Not a chance. Wizards wants to sell packs of OGW and this is a golden opportunity.

Can someone explain why Painter's Servant jumped in price recently? Just this morning it was selling for around ~$10, but as of this instance the only option left are foils, and they're selling for at least $20. Am I missing something with it?

You name ANY color litterally, they can't use eye of ugin to search for anything or even use their temples to cast most/all of their eldrazi's since temple and eye of ugin says use this mana to cast/search for COLORLESS elrazi's or creature cards.

I've only ever used Eye of Ugin to fetch creatures (as Tron), but thanks for reminding me of the colorless requirement for both cards (i.e. Eldrazi Temple/Eye of Ugin). Glad I grabbed a playset earlier today, as there's no way I'm paying these current prices for these.
I actually bought the last two painters servants that were sub 30 usd. I think a lot of people saw the eldrazi threat and immediately ran towards the first janky card they could find to try and sideboard against it. I just wanted some for Teysa shinanigans so with eldrazi madness on top of it all I decided it was a good time. I have no idea how I'm getting the last two, though. Amazon or Ebay may be the only options left.
1. (Ravnica Allegiance): You can't keep a good esper control deck down... Or Wilderness Reclamation... or Gates...
2. (War of the Spark): Guys, I know what we need! We need a cycle of really idiotic flavor text victory cards! Jace's Triumph...
3. (War of the Spark): Lets make the format with control have even more control!

Too late man, I checked already Ebay is almost out of them as well. At least if you want them nationally and not from other countries.

Ha, guess Wizards should remember this one for Modern Masters 3 or maybe some event deck reprint. This is the first time where price isn't the issue as much as supply! The regular copies that are lightly played are going for nearly as much as the foils.

I'm not comparing power level, I'm comparing format dominance. Everyone found the Mono Blue deck for that PT, and everyone came to the same conclusion that it was simply the best deck around. It completely dominated everything, but as these things go people managed to beat it just a couple weeks later (which lead to Mono Black Devotion).
It's kind of funny to think that people thought Monoblue Devotion was a serious problem; I heard some big complaints about that after the Pro Tour.
And then for the next 10 months, the complaint everyone had was about how annoying Monoblack Devotion was.

sounds like a similar progression here with black eldrazi then colorless chalice eldrazi then ur eldrazi.
Wasn't blue devotion only 2/8 of the T8 at the PT, though?

Rotating formats tend to be in a better spot when something like Mono Black Devotion comes around because the format will get tools to deal with it next set. Modern is much harder to fix with a single set. It's easy to fix a deck that's simply strong, but the problem with Eldrazi decks is the mana. Modern isn't equipped well to handle big mana decks. The thing is, the Eldrazi decks have been around for three months (because BW Eldrazi was a thing last set) and they couldn't figure out a good answer, now the decks got significantly better.

Agreed, they get to basically play with lands in the power level or mishra's workshop, city of traitors, and ancient tomb. You don't have to try as hard like with the tron lands. The amount of mana the deck can make put's it in the realm of a vintage shop deck, and legacy mud. Eye of ugin is problem, and to less degree Eldrazi Temple. I wouldn't call painter servant much of answer either. Unless we get better main-deckable answers I am certain there will be a banning. The key there is main-deckable. Especially when you look at how wizards has treated fast mana in the past in modern. If we get some beloved legacy staples reprints in Innistrad maybe the deck could stick around, but I don't see that happening. To deal with deck you need cheap efficient answers.
Wasn't blue devotion only 2/8 of the T8 at the PT, though?
No, it was 3/8 of the top 8, 3/4 of the top 4, and then a 74/75 card mirror in the finals. It was very, very dominant. It didn't put quite as many into the top 8 but it's day 1 and 2 win percentages were in the territory Eldrazi was in here. There was talk at the time from Aaron Forscythe that they had made a huge mistake with Nykthos, but they gave it time and the format sort of corrected itself.
All I'm saying is the deck was very dominant and I think there's something to talking about bans but asking for things like an emergency banning in the next 72 hours is absurd. Lets have some Opens/GP's to see if anyone can actually answer it. Personally, I'm doubtful that can be done... but we should still try, do you want a format that just bans whatever spikes a tournament or something which has powerful answers to go alongside those powerful threats? We should confirm those answers don't exist first.
People buying Eye of Ugin right now clearly don't have more than 2 or 3 neurons working. That price spike for such a clearly broken (and hopefully soon banned) card is an insult to our intelligence.
I dumped the ones I had in my tron deck. They sold within an hour on tcg.

Cheap efficient answers won't even do the trick, you need to kill them in a reasonable time frame. Like on turn 1 which is like not possible in Modern unless you are cheating.
I noticed it too. Almost all cards in modern that saw even fringe play have been "bought out". I am leaning to believe that SCG and CFB are withholding their stuff to increase the price. That or speculators have taken everything out.

It is the game's equivalent of a bank run. People have lost faith in WotC's ability to reprint cards so they are buying out anything and everything that potentially has value.

It's not just that either. The protour basically proved that without planning for modern they can't have a modern PTQ, and I doubt wizards has the resources and time to test for modern in it's current form to account for all the variation. This is why I think they are going to invent a new format that they may have more control over than modern and eliminate a lot of problem cards along the way. I want to keep my Eldrazi deck with Eye of Ugin, but the chances of something getting hit is frighteningly real right now. Enough so that I feel like I just wasted my time buying eldrazi cards even before the spikes ever happened (I got eyes for about 4-5 usd a piece.)

I think the argument that they didn't/don't test for modern being applicable to this Eldrazi takeover is quite faulty. This isn't some bizarrely engineered combo like Amulet Bloom that requires an intricate understanding of mechanics and several cards. It's a tribal type occurring in only two blocks. All they had to do was to back to the previous Eldrazi block and cross reference a bit to see how pieces interact. None of us have to be R&D specialists to realize that a tribal land that reduces mana costs substantially combined with aggressively costed creatures ignoring the colour pie sounds like a disastrous combination.
The only thing they needed to do was look at how the previous Eldrazi specific cards interact with the new ones. What's that, like under a hundred entries on gatherer before BFZ block? It's not rocket science.

Fully agree with you.
R&D in WOTC should be able to farseek this Eldrazi deck easily.
I'm really getting worried about a crash with this new Worship spike. The card was printed a LOT and hasn't even won anything. Worship should not be $5 more expensive than Stony Silence, which is a great sideboard card against the second best deck in the format.

They simply do not test for modern or eternal formats, period. There is literally nothing more to it than that. They have said over and over again in their design philosophies that the present will not be beholden to the past, and that they would rather deal with problems as they arise rather than hamstring what they want to do in standard.
