Made an archive of all the 3-0 decks I could in our Discord group and broke down the numbers. Most of it was from my cube with some MTGO Vintage cube or similar cubes. I definitely skew the numbers a bit, 8/10 of the Orzhov decks are mine, hehe.
EDIT: forgot to add mono colored decks to the list: there was one Mono Red Aggro and one Mono White Aggro, making 57 decks all together.
So much Orzhov. It seems the group you draft with tends to favor those decks. I would expect that the color combos and archetypes would have been more balanced across the 55.

I imagine these are not all from Steve Man, but I know he shares more than most of the members there and I know he really likes the Orzhov stax decks. Not that BW stax is all he drafts, but we all have our preferences whether subconscious or not as steve says himself in the OP. When you're drafting with steve man, have a way to fight against stax if you want to 3-0
Also, it's interesting on xmage in that most of us in that group don't personally (internetly?) know most of the people we are drafting with. Usually how it works is that someone posts in our discord group that they're hosting a draft or one is open, maybe 1-4 other people join that queue, and the rest are other members from the xmage server. The group is pretty great, and join up if you think you'll ever have some time to get online and play as xmage is easy to use/learn.
Oh, yeah, I didn't think that steve_man was the drafter of all 55 of these decks. I was just pointing out how popular BW Stax seems to be among this drafting group (and across multiple cubes, even). Just seems like the numbers there are oddly skewed.
I think I did one of those XMage drafts once a while ago, but I didn't care much for the interface.

That said, no one has had much success with Stax in my cube. Mind posting a few 3-0 decklists?
