Last year this time, Grixis shadow was thought to be so busted that it needed a ban, now the deck has almost disappeared from the meta. What killed the deck?
Was the issue that the humans, Jace and jund significantly jumped in numbers making shadow a lot harder to play? It was it that people adapted to fighting the deck with hate such as rest in peace?
I stil think Grixis shadow is an extremely powerful deck I theory but requires another innovation to make it tier 1 again
