Mana (1)
1 Lotus Petal

We see Thiim running a Merchant Scroll which to be honest I’m not quite sure how I feel about. It usually grabs Ancestral Recall or some sort of counter, but this is not a Paradoxical Outcome deck where we can get one of our main combo pieces.

Sideboard Differences

Bazaar (48)
31 Leyline of the Void
1 Pithing Needle
3 Surgical Extraction
13 The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale

Shops (4)
2 Hurkyl’s Recall
2 Null Rod

Discard (7)
7 Duress

Creatures (6)
1 Gurmag Angler
5 Tasigur, the Golden Fang
Lands (10)
1 Karakas
3 Library of Alexandria
2 Island
3 Snow-Covered Island
1 Swamp

Counters (10)
4 Flusterstorm
4 Mindbreak Trap
2 Mystical Dispute

Removal (14)
2 Chain of Vapor
4 Dismember
1 Eliminate
5 Fatal Push
1 Feed the Swarm
1 Force of Despair

There’s nothing particularly new in the sideboards except for a showing of Dismember. Four life seems like a lot to ask for, but it is more likely two life and in this deck.

I feel like I’m rushing through this week’s data, but there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of differences to last week. Overall it was a solid showing for Doomsday, but with Hullbreacher and Opposition Agent legal in the next weekend’s tournaments, things are going to get interesting.

  1. Well, eight, and really seven if you count the tiny change in XShockWaveX’s three lists. [↩]
