Humans won’t be everywhere because a large portion of the top tier players won’t play/advocate playing a deck that gets absolutely wrecked by sweepers that are in every sideboard for top tier decks.
Dismember + your decks namesake is a Pipedream? Lolwut? That’s like, the most common scenario you’ll find. If you have a DS in play, and your opponent attacks with 2+ dudes (weirdly enough, every top tier deck except storm and titanShift do this consistently), this is now a line.
I don’t think humans will be as prevalent as people are hyping it to be. He had a strong run with a deck his opponents weren’t equipped to play against. All it takes is his decklist being published for people to know what they’re playing with. Strong deck, very weak to wraths.
UW control will probably be on an uptick this weekend to combat the go-wide decks (UG fish 5c Humans etc), scapeshift has a great time with these decks, and there is no reason why Storm wouldn’t just pack 5+ spot removal spells out of the board like they always do and kill the Meddling Mage and just go off.
It shouldn’t be a terrible MU for DS, deck plays ample removal so they can’t ride a Champion to GG and their “interactive” creatures aren’t exactly great.

Dismember is a house in combat though. Turn a 1/1 or 2/2 Shadow into a 6/6 or greater, kill one attacker, block the other, untap and represent 12+ Damage with TBR.

Food for thought: the Storm team that has put more players in the Top 8 with Storm than any other, probably knows what they're talking about when it comes to beating your run-of-the-mill GDS player.
It's a perfectly fine strategy to remove the reducers from the MB against GDS, precisely because that's the axis GDS wants to operate on. By taking them out and increasing their "grindy" game, Storm is operating in a way that GDS isn't very well-equipped to handle, that is going wide.
YES, there is a nonzero chance you draw either EE or some red sweeper. But the storm player gets 4-6 chances to put their goblins into play en masse because of PiF, so it's not exactly a slam dunk just by wiping them once.

You have to discard cards for each mode, so collective Brutality Ian most certainly is not a 3 for 1. At best, 3 for 3 against burn and even that's hard to justify because 2 life gained isn't worth a ton against them.
