Does anyone know what the Modern meta was like when in started in 2011, or a bit later in 2012? What decks were around, what cards were popular, etc...

Stanislav Cifka piloted an Eggs deck and won the RTR Pro Tour with it, I think.

Eggs, Affinity, Pod, Tron, Twin, and Jund were the top decks. Pretty much what Chief said. Jund was absolutely dominant, though, thanks to Bloodbraid Elf and then briefly Deathrite Shaman.

No mention of zoo? I mean, it says it right there in the link notamardybum posted.

@canterlotguardian Unless I'm reading it wrong, zoo was more popular than jund and affinity combined.
