WotC won't restrict cards, it makes games even swingier and it's only done in Vintage so you can play at least a copy of the most powerful cards in a constructed format.
I don't understand why we should increase the powerlevel of Eldrazi decks. Most people don't like them and they offer nothing good to the format.
This not Eldrazi Winter 2.0. C'mon, dude. It's comparable to BBE Jund, Rhino Pod or TC Delver but not to the most busted deck we've ever had in the format.
The problem with Twin is that it was starting to become an auto-include in every Snapcaster Mage deck as a way to improve your % against the bad match-ups. I think the goal of diversifying finishers for Snapcaster Mage decks has been accomplished since Twin banning: in Grixis you have Death's Shadow, in Jeskai Nahiri got played for a time until better planeswalkers appeared, and straight blue red has Thing in the Ice and Through the Breach. Another issue is how competitive are those strategies, and Snapcaster Mage is probably at one of its lowest moments in Modern.
Why would you play Twin in a hard Control or Shadow deck. Where do you find the 9 to 10 slots?
GDS is slightly favoured because discard spells, cheap counterspells and a fast clock are very good against UR Bird but they also can kill you easily with a nutdraw with multiple Phoenixes and burn spells.
Well, UB Mill is a bad matchup imho. UW does not have many cards to prevent the mill cards and the clock is rather slow without the burn cards from Jeskai.
Just watched a video of him and it's very helpful and interesting. Thanks for posting that.
After trying out a bunch of decks I have decided to stick with GDS so now it's all just a matter of really learning all there is. Targeting yourself with Mishra's Bauble and cracking a fetch if you don't like the card is a play that I didn't have on my radar for example.
There is a similar move if you have a Bauble, a non-fetchland and Scour, where you mill the card before the draw trigger resolves if you don't like the card but maybe that has already been apparent to you.

GDS won one of the GPs. Still a very dominant showing of Izzet Phoenix.

Did ever a deck besides Eldrazi place more than 3 player into the top 8 of a modern GP?
Only one control deck in the top 8 cannot overshadow the dominance of uninteractive decks in the top. 3-times KCI is rediculous.
