We have some interesting things going on this week. TakeYourT1me's sideboard is full of interesting one-ofs. Bontu's Last Reconing is a Wrath of God that prevents you from untapping lands next turn, but this is less of a problem in a Dark Ritual deck. Vendilion Clique is particularly curious, but I can see it being useful against Planeswalkers as well as acting as an extra Duress.
discoverN is still on Library of Alexandria in the side, which has yet to take the sideboards of Doomsday players by storm. I do like seeing a Hurkly's Recall being played as sometimes it feels as if Shops gets such a head start that nothing else can win the game. Perhaps those are the ones best forfeit and moved on from, however.
