Post-Regionals Metagame Part 2

Well, after a little bit more searching, I have found a lot of the missing top 4 numbers. After finding a lot more info, we have a better idea of how the metagame is forming. Here are the new numbers.

Horde Shaman- 32
Alliance Warlock-23
Alliance Hunter-21
Horde Hunter-10
Horde Warlock-8
Horde Mage-5
Horde Warrior-3
Alliance Paladin-3
Horde Priest-3
Alliance Mage-2

I think the most shocking thing is the total flop of the mages. 7 total out of 110 known lists with at least 2 of those being aggro. The Mage control deck was one that many were touting as a contender to the throne before the weekend, so what happened? With the new number, Grennan and Dizdemona have moved into the top 2 spots but Elendril is still right there. There is an even clearer line now between the top 3 and everyone else. I'll keep tallying the numbers and we can start to look at where we are right now, and more importantly, where we go from here.

The Regionals I still don't have are:

Birmingham, AL
Denver, CO
Cromwell, CT
Claymont, DE
Marietta, GA
Honolulu, HI
Boise, ID
Niles, IL
Olathe, KS
Lafayette, LA
Rockville, MD
Boston,MA
Burnsville, MN
Durham, NC
Cincinnati, OH
Gresham, OR
Columbia, SC
Nashville, TN
Plano, TX
Richmond, VA

If you know any of these top 4's please pass that info along.

I think that this analysis is missing one important fact...the cards people own. Not everyone has 4 Novas, 4 Counters, 4 etc...i.e. not every deck was competitive.

Sorry you missed your own regionals. Our TX weather really sucked over the weekend. Luckily I Q'd in Houston (1st, undefeated).

I think it's completely crazy.

The Shaman decks I saw weren't very good compared to the tuned beast that was mine, but they still managed to pull off wins.

I thought Mages were going to be up there. Playtesting, the deck was a beast.
