The purpose of the tournament was to showcase what the metagame had evolved to in just a day following the bans of Oko, Thief of Crowns, Once Upon a Time, and Veil of Summer from the Standard format in Magic. Jeskai Fires was the most-played deck in the Swiss rounds, producing positive results. But it didn’t dominate the meta.
