The most busted Eldrazi start called for Eye into four Eldrazi Mimics, then using Eldrazi Temple and Simian Spirit Guide to play Reality Smasher and actually win on turn 2. Hogaak has some permutations to make 18+ power on turn 2 (if it hits well with Stitcher's Supplier), some of which will have haste probably, though not necessarily, enough to earn a concession. Hogaak's best starts are at best equivalent to Eldrazi's. Hogaak didn't win a single event last week. They weren't just the majority of the metagame they also won almost everything. During Eldrazi Winter, that deck proved itself to be unbeatable for anything that wasn't Eldrazi.
I've played Modern a long time, and Hogaak isn't in the same ballpark as Eye of Ugin Eldrazi.
is actually a bad deck? I realize that this flies in the face of a lot of testimony and evidence, but Hogaak simply doesn't seem on par with what we've come to understand as busted strategies. It is a very powerful deck, but not necessarily a good one. For others, the contradiction was the real answer. Once more data comes in or additional research is done, the source of error is found and corrected. Sometimes this discrepancy is the result of differing perspectives. However, there's data and experience supporting the opposite side. The narrative coming out of last weekend is that Hogaak, Arisen Necropolis needs to be banned, which suggests the former interpretation is correct. The other said that it was successful, but only as a function of its popularity. Half the data said that Hogaak was a busted, dominate deck. In terms of data, it seems Modern is at a crossroads. This is the problem I found myself with last week.
