I’m honestly really surprised at the lack of innovation at this AC. Anticipating the metagame correctly is a skill so I’m not discounting the work folks put in, but it’s kind of shocking to not see a single new deck or any significant new tech emerge.

Magic: The Gathering writing has a short half-life. Historically-important articles are taken offline every year. This sucks.
That's why I'm launching Library of Leng, an index of 32 years of Magic writing. 150k+ articles, 20+ sites, fully searchable.

I wrote another article (link in comment) this type a more theoretical one, about how to think about and build decks that try to leverage a resource advantage.
This includes both Demilich and Gran-Gran and I think illuminates a lot of the questions I have gotten about them.
1-3 out on Day 1 with Affinity. Think I really misread the meta, prepared (and teched) for Goyfs and Dimir. Should have just played Jund — live and learn.
