Actually, the percentage of Jund on either day is so high, it approaches the dominance of Standard Caw Blade during its heyday (that is to say, some 40% of top 8 appearances). I really hope they don't suddenly decide to ban Goyf or Bob in December.
as do I because it will effect more than one deck and hinder way more than just jund. It was a meta thing right now (decay and shaman and bringing it up right now) I think when the next set comes out bringing the other color combos some power, it will even out.

I believe a lot of people just suddenly got it into their minds to play Jund. Somehow, only 2 people played RUG Tempo Thresh, and both of them made Day 2. I'd expect similar stats for Thresh as with this tournament's Jund if 119 people played Thresh in Day 1.
To be fair, modern isn't a popular format amongst pros and jund is a very powerful deck in a strong players hands, even if you're not super familiar with the format.

Pros tested the format for weeks, and most of them ended up on the (likely correct) conclusion that Jund was by far the best deck in the format then. It doesn't look like anything has changed.
"Second Breakfast" is probably mislabelled at 8 decks and likely should be 4 decks.
Never mind. I'm looking at the stats, and Sunny Side Up's Day 1 percentage was indeed twice as much as those of its neighbours'. My mistake; I guess the Sunny Side Up count is accurate after all.
...Which means everyone was prepared for Sunny Side Up and no one was prepared for the Blighted (Agent) Inquisition.
i will be very surprised if it is a goyf reprint. even if it is reprinted, it won't really make a dent in the price. also, more jund on the stream. my dislike for the deck increased, if that's possible.

Not enough output #s wise to move prices- it'll be a much more widespread product.
Current post- Grand Prix KC Modern Postmortem (7/7/13)
that would be pretty dumb. it'd just be torn apart and sold as singles unless you're lucky enough to have a LGS that sells it for a reasonable rate.

no jtms in this,
It's pretty cool, though. That's a deck I'd like to remain relevant.

Only from 8th Edition to Alara Reborn? Seriously? I want to draft some darn Snapcaster Mages!
