Having played the deck a ton on the ladder I'm convinced the pros just weren't prepared for it. It's good but doesn't feel dominant and has poor matchups against the other 2 top decks. Though, admittedly the version I was running had Chandra, Awakened Inferno rather than Nezahal, Primal Tide in the sideboard which might make the Jeskai Control matchup better.

I will say it runs over any deck that doesn't have interaction. I view this as a good thing for the meta if anything, but I guess I can see this maybe being a potential issue from a neutral standpoint. Even like red aggro decks can run Abrade and Fry both of which interrupt the combo though.

Edit: Guess I should clarify my characterization of the Phoenix vs. Turns matchup is closer to even. I do think the Phoenix deck is favored but not by much. Jeskai Turns has a noticeable advantage game 1 but then the Phoenix deck should be favored once it boards in more disruption
