It's nice to see something interesting like the Worldsoul's Rage deck making it into this list but honestly every other deck in there except for maybe Dimir feels like we've been seeing it for the last 2 years. This is just too stale for me, it feels like I'd rather just play Pioneer at this point.

Overall I think my biggest gripe with Standard right now is Sunfall and how many sweepers there are. In a 3-year meta that was designed for 2, we're now seeing far too many sweepers in the format. It's unreal to me that this many creature-based decks are in the top list, but at the same time, the creatures are so pushed that I don't know how UW control or Domain could play their game without having 8 of them.
