This deck hasnt won any major MTGO challenges or paper tournaments this past weekend (as of Sunday morning, at least), so this may not be the next hot thing in Modern
Truthfully the evidence was too big a pile to deny, and I knew it even at the time, but what fun is it if everyone agrees all of the time
