  @ChubbyRain That's right, thx!

  I will start streaming today with Survival BUG at 9a.m. pacific (3p.m. here in Brazil). My nickname in MTGO is GutoCmtt and I'm currently the leader in the trophy 'race' always running survival (different versions sometimes, but so far BUG has been the best one). My twitch account is also https://www.twitch.tv/gutocmtt

  One little note: I have very flexible schedule, but for my first day I will be able only to stream at this time (which I know is kinda bad for most people), but the next times I think I will stream at night here in Brazil (probably around 1p.m. and 3p.m. pacific time).

  @smmenen Good read! Very cool with a tool that can measure diversity. Seeing is believing.

  My only critique of your article would be that it wasn't immediately obvious that you flipped the index. You wrote

  Recall that a higher value indicates a more balanced and more diverse metagame, and a lower number indicates a less balanced and less diverse metagame, with .99 being a nearly perfectly balanced and diverse metagame with a plethora of viable decks, and a value closer to 0 being a metagame dominated basically by a single deck.

  But for that sentence to make sense, you would have to have read the endnote as you make no mention above of why this changed.

  Necro resolves. There's always more Oath in sanctioned paper for some reason. Maybe people are too hungover to think on Friday. But not much has changed, Shops is weaker but the field is similar, Misstep Stew, Spheres, Bazaars and now I expect a higher Outcome turnout. I think Shops is the worst they've been in a long time, since before 3.8 Missteps per blue deck. And the red tools the UWr Misstep decks have post board are gross. Shops might be a dog to the GWx SotF decks and PO as well.
