MM2 had a shit load of packaging issues but apparently people are pretty happy with what they pulled.
Coco elves top 8'd a GP, Cavern of Souls spiked to $40, Blood Moon hit $50, Snappies are sitting at $85 and Omniscience jumped to $40.

Collected Company is insane now, Den Protector + Deathmist Raptor is also really good, and Blood Moon hit $50. Yep.

Blood moon hit $70 for a period.
But yeah you're going to have to narrow down the format for more specific advice.

Thanks everyone so far. when i say "the meta" i mean the standard meta. E.G, what was good in the pro tours, etc... Thanks!

Oh, Standard.
Esper Dragons (UB Control splashing white basically just for Dragonlord Ojutai so that it can make full use of Silumgar's Scorn and Foul-Tongue Invocation) was the best deck at the Pro Tour, but Atarka Red (mono-red splashing Atarka's Command) ended up winning. Since then, various dragon decks in all sorts of colors have popped up because Haven of the Spirit Dragon and sometimes Crucible of the Spirit Dragon let you play whatever base colors you want and still have all five colors of dragons.
Abzan Control is still popular, Jeskai Tokens fell off the map, Collected Company decks are doing well, Abzan Aggro is pretty good because it stopped playing Bile Blight in the main and went for Dromoka's Command instead.
GR Dragons has been doing well, that's basically a GR ramp deck that tops off with Thunderbreak Regent and Stormbreath Dragon with Draconic Roar and Whisperwood Elemental to do... things.
Sorry for a lack of organization.

Define "the meta".
