Standard disclaimer that league results are not indicative of the general metagame. They are selected for variety, not proportional representation.
57 lists for us today, and, if I'm being honest, nothing that really made me lean forward in my chair and go, "wait, what?" There were a few interesting splashes, a couple of those extra-large Omnath lists, and maybe something going on in Belcher or one of the other lists that I mostly gloss over because I'm not qualified to describe what's fresh or interesting there.
The Grixis Murktide list is running two copies Snapcaster Mage over a full playset of Murktide Regent, which really threw into focus what a rough deal Snapcaster has gotten in the last couple years. It's not like it's gotten less powerful in an objective sense; there are more powerful instants and sorceries than ever! The landscape around it has just changed in ways that wouldn't be individually backbreaking, but combine to be totally hostile to everyone's favorite Ambush Viper. Most of the best removal is now permanents (Solitude, Fury, Leyline Binding), it's mana-intensive to flash back the best card advantage spell (Expressive Iteration and its use-it-or-lose-it exile), and one of the strongest blue cards (Murktide Regent) wants your graveyard to itself, though it does grow when you flash something back. Even the noble Bolt-Snap-Bolt has been usurped by Underworld Breach and "just cast it like 3-4 times." And despite all of that, we still find corners where Snapcaster remains a legitimate option.
Spicy splashes:
- Grixis Murktide: Nextep went for a more controlling build of Murktide, splashing black for Drown in the Loch, KCommand, and a variety of sideboard options. I talked about Snapcaster above, but a strong Grixis control list has always been tantalizingly close to viable, so I see this list and I'm rooting for it.
- UR Merfolk: 5ives saw their merfolk going to the face and thought, "what goes well with face?" Lightning Bolt. Lightning Bolt goes well with face. Svyelun swinging with first strike and trample from The Royal Scions uptick also seems nasty.
- GW Taxes: SaloSkill got their 5-0 with a juiced-up version of Taxes, another deck that's perpetually on the cusp of being a meta player. I don't really know what new Melira is doing for this deck from a "fight the meta" perspective, but it does act as an additional sort of shield/lightning rod in the same was as Giver of Runes.
