Thoughts

It’s always interesting when one person bucks the trend, and Matti decided to not play Dig Through Time. To be honest, it has been a card I have trouble using. When it is great, it is great. But often I do not have the mana or the cards available to delve. So it gets pitched to a Force of Will. I doubt I’d go Matti’s route and replace it with Thoughtseize, but I like the proactiveness.

kasa ran a Mindbreak Trap over Force of Negation. I do not want to assume budget issues, (Especially with a Hullbreacher in the side.) but I do not see the advantage. Only SingPanMan and myself ran Watery Grave over the extra fetch land. That choice is interesting as SingPanMan runs Treasure Cruise. Delve is a hungry ability. But I still like running the extra land over the fetch as it has "felt" right.

Sideboards are very similar this week. Everyone seemed to agree on at least one Tabernacle, but I still do not agree with only three Leyline of the Void.

Interesting one-ofs this week include an Annul. As we often want to play the counterspell mode of Steel Sabotage, this seems to make sense. Unfortunately, the amount of times we want a one-mana counter for Underworld Breach or Oath of Druids isn’t enough to make me like this. If there is some enchantment I am missing, let me know.

Best of luck to everyone playing this weekend!
