No you have not. Especially now that we know the metagame, if you are not able to come up with a control deck that is good against 2/3 of the field (more would indicate that it's an unhealthy metagame), then the problem is coming from you.
How can you build a deck to beat both zoo and combo when they are essentially completely different decks. At this point you essentially lose to 12post unless they mulligan to 3 or so. We don't have the counterspells to deal with anything.
Ok, so it is impossible to know but somehow you knew it? Your assuming only one team played 12post with breach. That also does not explain how you came up with the imaginary numbers on other post variants. I mean it is pretty safe to breach post preformed better then the other variants. But throwing random numbers out there is well not.
I figured it was pretty close using twitter, tournament reports and deck techs ect. One the deck tech for breach post he said that his team was the only one playing it. this was confirmed though twitter and decks with 18 or more points.

Then you build a deck that beats both 12-post and combo and loses game 1 against Zoo.
You can't build a deck that has better than 45-50% against 12post. I could build a deck that is around 75% against zoo. I can build a deck that has 65% against UR combo. But if I build it to beat combo I will be around 40% against zoo. If I build it to be Zoo I will be 35-40% against combo.
45% 75% 35%
or
45% 65% 40%
seems bad.
Thats not even including affinity or other more rogue decks.

Can I ask where you are getting those numbers?

Whatever that meant, well, I just couldn't guess.

There is a deck that gives 12post, Zoo, and Combo trouble. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more, but they just haven't been discovered yet, at least by the mainstream community.

In the deck tech W/ travis woo on breach-post at about 40 seconds in he clearly says he has 3 members on his team and gives their names.Link to deck tech found herehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gir2XLsuZO8&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL
Also, if you check here http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/eventcoverage/ptphi11/topmoderndecks
You will see 6 breach posts lists at 6-4 or better. Meaning without question other people played it. Also only Jesse Hampton of that 3 man group finished 6-4 or better in constructed. So again... you at 100% incorrect.
He is just making them up... to troll us
