Blarg! Apparently the solution is to not post event results at all. None have been posted in the last few days. I keep looking and hoping, only to have my hopes dashed day after day. I realize that the people who are resposible for this might have been distracted by the PT, then the CCC, but meh! If this senile cranky old man can multitask, so can you young turks at WotC. Go ahead! Make me eat crow! Post all the results since downtime! I dare you! EDIT: Results just posted. Still missing events. See the pie chart above, which is a "live" image of the current online modern meta.

Sorry for the delay in responding here.
In regards to the recent reduced event coverage, this was a conscious decision by the Wizards R&D team that wasn’t made lightly. Ultimately, we feel that publishing every deck list leads to solving constructed formats far too efficiently, resulting in early stagnation that’s not fun for anybody. We still want to show new deck ideas every day and provide insight into the Magic play environment, but we don’t want metagame development to become purely a function of data analysis. Going forward, we’ll still provide the winning deck lists from all Premier Event top 8’s. We will also show the 4-0 and 3-1 deck lists for one completed Daily Event in each format per day.

Really. You're serious? Blarg. Figures. AFter working for almost a year keeping track of the modern meta, you willy nilly yank the rug out. WITH NO NOTICE! The no notice part really irks me. I'm afraid to keep typing for fear of what will spew frm my fingers.
GRRRRRRRRR!!!!

I'm curious, is the data from these decks being published really the straw that broke the camels back so to say? On any given day there are dozens of analysises (ya I don't knwo the right word/spelling) on different sites on a number of formats. So while this may affect primarily MTGO formats, it seems odd for the widely played and analyzed ones.
Blippy, I would love it if you put those pictures in spoilers, it completely messes up my forum view (at work at least).

I understand what you're saying wotc_sean, but it's putting the genie back in the bottle. Someone is going to work around this. You might as well carry on supplying the data for the goodwill it creates for your company.

I believe that this is a bad descion and am not happy with this. I am just posting here to show my discontent.

I will also say that you guys just killed one of the primary reasons for me to visit the WoTC Mothership. I suppose SCG might see an increase in Prememium membership.
There are just so many sources for information on what is and isnt working that it really does seem silly to take this resource away.
Sorry if my first thought on the matter is the mess with the Guillaume's and how they were given acess to the godbook. (yes i know it's a different matter entirely but it is still information that was not widely shared and was supposed to be in-house only)

Not going to comment on this decision itself...
I just wanted to say that I think this is exactly the kind of thing you guys should be announcing and communicating to the MTGO users... not just leaving us to notice it and ask about it. We love communication. and if if you seem to ignore us we at least like to hear from you about why you are doing things... and we especially like to be informed that you ARE doing things.
Calavera on MTGO
I collect Zendikar Foil Basic lands. Trade me yours!
Things that I want to see changed on MTGO:
1: 64 man drafts added to rotation of Events.
2: Visual/Audible Notification of disconnect, deckbuild/afk time expiring and round starts.
3: Prize Payouts as close to draft sets as possible.
4: Rotate Classic draft queues monthly!
5: MOCS level events for Classic/Pauper
6: Power 9!
7: Award Promo Cards for Constructed PEs (esp for Legacy/Classic)
8: Program Split option back in!
9: Set Favorite version in deck editor (i.e. always use x swamp)
10: Better sorting of gold cards in deck editor.
11: Bring leagues Back!

Not to mention what you just did to poor Blippy flushing all his hard work. He has been a massive pillar in the Modern forrums, you owe him like 1000 tix I also never say I want to quit the game over things, but this has me feeling it. I Demand Satisfaction!
