The only difference this week is someone ran only one Daze in a list. [efn_note]I should also figure out a better way to automate fetchlands, but I digress.[/efn_note] The Steel Sabotage as a four of remains. Now let's peek at the differences.
Thiim (10th Place) Differences
XShockWaveX (5-0) Differences
Cherryxman (16th Place) Differences
IdraftTheBeatz (24th Place) Differences
shir kahn (26th Place) Differences
XShockWaveX (25th Place) Differences
MaxMagicer (30th Place) Differences
XShockWaveX (6th Place) Differences
Tiemuuu (3rd Place) Differences
The Differences
Main Differences
| Draw (24) 2 Cling to Dust 5 Peek 4 Treasure Cruise 13 Street Wraith Interaction (39) 7 Chain of Vapor 8 Daze 4 Duress 5 Flusterstorm 8 Force of Negation 7 Mystical Dispute Search (1) 1 Merchant Scroll | Lands (61) 2 Watery Grave 1 Island 1 Snow-Covered Island 19 Flooded Strand 8 Misty Rainforest 19 Polluted Delta 10 Scalding Tarn 1 Verdant Catacombs 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.
- Well, eight, and really seven if you count the tiny change in XShockWaveX's three lists. [↩]
