Hey guys. Now that eye is gone and visions and sword are unbanned, what decks do you guys think benefit from the changes and what decks are hurt by then?
My thoughts:
Hurt:
Eldrazi (duh)
Jund (it will be better then it was in the Eldrazi meta tho)
Burn (depending on how much play sword sees)
Abzan coco (I'm skeptical about how good this deck will be with Eldrazi gone -- probably will sustain tier 2 tho)
Tron (RIP eye :()
Helped:
Control of all kinds (duh)
Fae (I really hope, this is such a cool deck)
Lantern control (can't wait for it to be "too annoying" now)
Tezzeret (Both unbans potentially help it)
I think tron is fine. Hopefully the format slows down enough that the decks that gave it trouble before are less of a % and the decks that tron wrecked before might actually stand a chance against it. We shall see though. I think CoCo will be alright but it really depends on how diverse the meta gets since this deck gets better when it knows what it is going against (all decks do, but this one more so because of chords making your 1x silver bullets more like a 5x). Burn I believe takes a big hit from SotM. Depending on how heavily it is played, I could see burn using black for tainted remedy or illness in the ranks since SotM/Foundry get around burns current anti-life gain hate.
I am mainly curious to see where eldrazi goes from here. I just picked up my playset of vesuva in case the deck sticks around. I think it will continue to be decent but won't be represented much as people mass leave the deck.
Both Illness in the ranks and Virulent Plague hurt Thopters super hard not to mention all the regular artifact hate like Stony Silence. I'm not sure how strong the combo can really be with all the good hate available in modern now.
