Post-Eventide Metagame

This past weekend, there were a lot of major tournaments around the world, with various National Championships, as well as Grand Prix Kobe in Japan. This would very much dictate the post-Eventide metagame so here are the results for reference:

US Nationals (Standard):
1st - Red Deck Wins
2nd - BG Elves
3rd - UB Faeries
4th - Red Deck Wins

France Nationals (Standard):
1st - Red Deck Wins
2nd - UGrwb Quick n Toast
3rd - Red Deck Wins
4th - UW Merfolk

Italy Nationals (Standard):
1st - BR Tokens
2nd - UB Faeries
3rd - BG Elves
4th - Ramp-Toast

GP Kobe (Block):
1st - UB Faeries
2nd - BGw Doran
3rd - BGw Treefolk
4th - WW Kithkin

Quite noticeable is the apparent emergence of 2 RDW's on the top 4 of the US as well as the France Nats. Here's the decklist of the US National Champ, Michael Jacob:
