I need to identify which format this meta belongs to, as these archetypes span multiple formats. Let me analyze the archetype names to determine the format first.

Based on the archetypes listed (Cloudpost, Omnitell, Sneak and Show, Cephalid Breakfast), this appears to be a Legacy format meta. Let me analyze this local meta by gathering data on these archetypes.

Now let me try different name variations for the missing archetypes and get broader Legacy meta context:

  • Key cards: Tamiyo, Orcish Bowmasters, Force of Will
  • This is a dominant force in the current meta

Meta Context

This meta has excellent representation of combo (Breakfast, Show and Tell), tempo (Dimir, Sultai), prison (Post, D&T), and some weaker aggro-combo (Infect). Dimir Tempo's dominance suggests fair blue decks are well-positioned. Mono Black Helm's poor performance suggests it's outclassed by faster combos or better midrange options.
