Data, expertise and analysis

It seems you didn't get the answer you wanted to hear and thus tried to spin it in your head in a way that makes you feel correct? The discord provided you with the answer that Dack Fayden is seeing just as much play in this year as he did in previous years and that he is still an integral tool for red xerox decks to fight shops and discard matchup specific duds. Not sure why you feel like my opinion does not contain expertise on the format when I play MORE Vintage than people like Eternal Glory.

@mike-noble I used mtgtop8 when I wrote the thread - https://www.mtgtop8.com/event?e=20486&f=VI
It shows the how the players finished before they played top 8, so that is my fault for not noticing that.

@iamactuallylvl1 Not sure what your point is here. I am a fan and I enjoy your content. You do a lot for the community.
Brian Coval is a Vintage Champion several times over and Bryan Cook has done well in Vintage last year and placed 9th the April Super Qualifier. Their podcast is for Legacy but the way that they analyze cards and the format use a frame of expertise.
There is no question that you have expertise, maybe I did not get the answer I was looking for Discord. That was my fault for not asking the right question. I am noticing that people appear to speak past each other because they are approaching the analysis from different angles and that is difficult to see on a thread on in a chat.
I'm studying Vintage right now and looking for something that I am not finding right now.

You wrote a lot of words in your original post, but I'm not sure I saw a question or a hypothesis in there. What is the purpose of this thread? What are you trying to accomplish?

Question: Is Dack Fayden dead now? He has dropped off from Xerox list. Is he even playable anymore?

@mike-noble No question, just a middle-aged guy trying to work some stuff out. I am no expert, especially not in Vintage and especially not now.
I do not care if people have cards, proxies are fine with me. I am looking for something that probably no longer exists here and I'll stop wasting everyone's time.
Thanks for the responses.

Dack is currently seeing play in 24% of decks at 1.9 copies per list.
I didn't participate in this discussion but starting with a flawed premise is unlikely to generate useful analysis no matter the frame.

I am interested in this but I also don't understand the question.
