With Final Fantasy being out for over a week now we can see how the best players are drafting the set and steal their secrets.

Sweet to see that FIN is looking unusually well balanced. We do still see a trend of blue doing better at the top levels but eveything being viable is rare.
And FIN is a big outlier. Already now, a week into the format the color pairs are very close to each other. Closer than any other Play Booster set after a week (see graph), but also close than any of them after the full format. And win rates normally get closer over time.
4/9
