Wow, based on the graph it seems like Hive Mind is one of the best things to play right now. I never expected that one. Currently the Hive Mind thread is some rarely-posted-on thread in deck creation Maybe it deserves to be a little farther up the food chain.
I'm having trouble finding a daily with a good Hive Mind list. Anyone care to direct me to one?
I couldn't either. It doesn't get much love on this site since we took it out of Established. It likely should be in Developing Competitive, but so far nobody loves it.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
Jesus restoration.dec continues to rock. Concister me a bit scared it hasn't died down at all. Also I'm glad to see vex has found a solid home in RDW. It was good in zoo, but only when control was really hitting hard, against aggro it isnt good, and agaist combo was only ok.
I told ya vexing devil was gonna be good enough for burn, not a star like goblin guide, but good enough with the current available cards.
Also very good with Bob. I'm just waiting for Burn players to realize how scary Bob is with a Runechanter's Pike. The deck plays enough cards to make it worth it.

In case I didn't tell you, I don't care about your opinion I just want your facts. And not the facts that make you seem smart. I want the ones that are actual facts.
Does the restoration in your lists refer to the U/W Geist of st traft restoration angel lists that have largely supplanted caw as the U/W non-delver deck of choice? Or specifically the 5cc version

Last time I looked, it was in Deck Creation and it wasn't stickied. Yeowch.
Granted, I believe multiple threads have been made for Hive Mind (usually when the previous thread sank), so I don't the Hive Mind community here is as organized as the Ad Nauseam-Angel's Grace one (which is stickied in Deck Creation and doesn't have 3+ threads).
I put a small report in the Tezzerator thread. I seem to be the only person who plays the deck though, I will probably stop bothering.
It is the evolution of the Tezzeret deck I used to play a couple months back, I cut the white and the durdly lands for more islands and Darksteel Citadel. It lets me run Blood Moon in the sideboard, which helps my two worst matchups: Jund and Tron. I am 1-2 in dailies with this new build.
Strangely, tourney 4002879 only had 1 4-0 (and NINE 3-1s) with 30 people, which must mean that every pair-down lost. (30->15->7->3->1) Also shout out to me for 3-1'ing with the cheapest deck by far in the group. Somehow that's an accomplishment. Not sure how, really.

Had semenulative upkeep before it was fashionable. Look what you forced me to do, Wizards! IT DIDN'T HAVE TO GO DOWN LIKE THIS!

Like I said, I can only go by my own experience, which is now 18 years. Kind of disheartening when you think you know something and you find out that you're a notch below a low grade moron.
Against Hive Mind, i agree. But Splinter and Storm normally don't have answers to an active Worship...
Grapeshot can ping your dudes and most Twin/Storm decks run Pyroclasm. So unless you're really lucky enough to land Worship and two Crusade effects, they will have no problem beating this.

WoTC, thank you for finally announcing the Modern format, an eternal format where everyone can participate.
LOTS of Affinity past 3 events. Affinity 4-0 in all 3, with many more in 3-1 spots. Blood Artistry makes another appearance. WRUG Restoration Pod shows up again at 4-0
Current Pods:
For a second there, I thought that pie graph represented the entire modern metagame. Then I read where it said "Current Pods" and I relaxed. That would have been insane.

The Kumazemi Pod deck and the new 4-0 Pod deck are quite different IMO. The Kumazemi deck is nearly all Bant-coloured and mainly abuses the Angel Chain (Kitchen Finks + Birthing Pod = Finks + Pod + Restoration Angel, repeat once a turn). The new deck is nearly all Naya-coloured and plays 2 Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker. With 4 Restoration Angel and 1 Deceiver Exarch, it mainly aims to stick the "Exarch" "Twin" combo.
I have not yet seen anything like that. It is, however, possible that a deck using Scapeshift or Amulet of Vigor in main or side has made it to the lists, but was identified as something else.
Try using MTGO Academy's search engine. It keeps the same decklists as Wizards, and I've found its Advanced Search to be a reliable way of finding specific decklists.
(I keep wondering when some Modern guy will break Favorable Winds like they broke Intangible Virtue...I am glad Cavern of Souls is sneaking into regular decks, though, but I am surprised it can be used in decks with only 8 Wizards and no higher numbers of creatures that share creature types.)
Blipp, can I get an undate on what the tiers currently look like (big boy charts and middle school chart) So I can update the modern primer? Tom noticed my old list doesnt list Death and taxes, and Im pretty sure that deck has been doing pretty good lately.

To be fair, I don't see D+T in the dailys very often, but I suspect that's because almost nobody plays it.

seem pretty similar(if this post is in the wrong spot, delete it. Ill PM those interested)
Also very good with Bob. I'm just waiting for Burn players to realize how scary Bob is with a Runechanter's Pike. The deck plays enough cards to make it worth it.

Eh? Eh?
There seems to be quite a lot of those Archetypes showing up.
Though I have yet to see one of those decks,
The only Modern Deck Ive played used it on Kitchen Finks.
And cast another one on Realm Razer. Suffice to say, It wasn't Pretty Afterwards.

Can you clarify? I run 1x RA in my D+T list; would that be restoration taxes?
