RE: Gods Unchained - Magic Meta Report (March 2022)
I'm speaking as someone who plays all the Gods haha but that is interesting. Card Draw Magic seemed mostly dead after the CSR nerf and that's where Leyhoard shined the most; perhaps it's making a comeback with the new expansion? It certainly doesn't go into any combo decks, so the only other type is Control Magic which I can maybe see it working. Control Magic has less draw than CDM though so it won't usually be <3 mana.
5E-8 BEE
From what I can tell with early numbers (before we dig into a larger sampling), Magic struggled to deal with Aggro Light (pre-nerf) until it settled on Control Magic as the least bad match-up. In other words, Magic spent the last Weekend Ranked throwing the kitchen sink at Aggro decks, and a creature/removal combo fit right into that mindset.
Beyond that, I think Control Magic was still a losing match-up (I remember seeing a low 40's win rate against Aggro Light), but everything was doing worse (high 30's). I don't fault you for believing Leyhoard was pushed to the back burner, though. It's been a weird couple weeks with meta being so "extra" as of late ;P
