Grixis control has morphed to 4 col control astrolabe shenanigans, and they sort of all feel the same I suppose- but it is not quite as bad as death-rite era where there really was no reason not to play BUG with drs and Leovold. I am not so sure it stifles diversity overall, outside of delver. It seems to have cropped up in all sorts of control decks too, albeit experimentally in some cases. W6 seems to be in a lot of the online meta from what I can see and have been told by the players I know who MTGO. And there's a handful of lists that have been putting up good numbers lately and are definitely contenders in this meta, but didn't show up in the top 64, like Bomberman, other Delver variants (Grixis/4c/Izzet), Maverick, Hogaak Depths, Aggro Eldrazi, and Stoneblade. RUG Delver was the most-represented with 20 decks in the top 64, followed by Miracles/UW Control with 9 lists (including a 4-color list with Wrenn and Six), then Turbo Depths with 5, Grixis+Green 4c Control and Dredge with 4, Aggro Loam, Red Prison, and Show and Tell with 3 (including one Omni-Tell), 2 Reanimator and ANT Storm lists, and then a ton of miscellaneous lists with one showing including Burn, Death and Taxes, Eldrazi Post, Food Chain, Goblins, Humans, Hypergensis-Cascade, Infect, and Painter's Stone. The top 64 was also exceptionally diverse. The top 8 of Atlanta was hugely diverse with 2 RUG Delver, 2 Turbo Depths, 1 Burn, 1 Storm, 1 Dredge, and 1 UW Control ("Miracles" but not packing any Miracle cards). 4 out of 64 is more of a showing than Dredge has had in a while, but it's a far cry from broken or what Hogaak was doing in Modern where it was the most played deck and Leyline of the Void was the most-played card and it was still making up half of all top 8's. I don't think it's a hugely problematic card though.
And it's made some appearances in BG Dark Depths lists as well, though none of those showed up in the top 64.
It showed up in the top 8 of GP Atlanta in a Dredge list, and there was two more in the top 16 and another in the top 64.
