Thanks for the work you put in on these, I've moved from standard to Historic recently and looking at Pioneer now too. Luckily there's some crossover between Samwise Combo and Jund Sac so not so many wildcards to collect. If you could just also help me to be less rubbish at drafting I'd get there faster! 😅
I play best of three, Azorius Control. I've named my deck The Lotus Eater because I have never lost a match to Lotus Field Combo 😁 Took me a long time to refine my list -- I lost all the time at first -- but now I'm slowly working my way up the ladder. In BO3, I'm seeing lots of Rakdos and Golgari piles (demons and reanimate variations) and the 5 colour Niv-to-Light is getting popular. Lotus Field was all over the place at first, but seems to have fallen off.
I feel that Phoenix is very much a one trick pony. Any exile effects and/or graveyard hate will shut it right down. I expect that people are prepared for it and Greasefang in BO1.

I don't think you want me to help with draft that much lol. My strategy is usually force cheap flyers and removal where possible
The W/G Auras list is so much better with Mox Amber. With 11-12 Legends, it gives a huge boost
I could see that. Haven’t personally run either or but will keep an eye out next week to see what the stats can show between versions
Nice.
Is Leyline of Resonance versions of Rakdos / MonoR aggro bad? or just not enough games
All versions are small sample

Long as azorious control isnt represented you know the formats in a healthy place.
