Not at all, it starts to be competetive once again. We can see two loams in top8 on GP Lille. It is the Niklas Kronberger build. He won Prague Etertnal in June with his loam deck.

Quote from Domantas

Hi everyone, I'm thinking about getting into Loam, both Jund and 4c versions. But before I do that I'd like to know what are the main pros and cons of each deck and which match-ups are really bad for these decks. I assume, Burn is a liability. What else?

Thanks in advance

First of all, AggroLoam (Jund colours) and Jeff's (4c Loam) are built in completely different style. Classical AggroLoam is just more aggro and Jeff's list is just more control. Both decks have problems with Show & Tell - Jeff's list has the answer in the form of Karakas (which is still too slow tutored by KoTR) or some wish options, in classical list you can rely only on your SB (discard or Ensnaring Bridge). Simmilar problem is with Elves. Jeff's list is much slower with dealing with the small guys but can wish for some answers (especially vs natural order). Aggro Loam version is easy to ride with elves but is weak vs NO version. I think that classic version is better vs BUG and BladeControl. You don't have to care about counters on your wishes, and Seismic Assault is rather a GG.
Sorry for my english
