Thoughts
Main Core: 52 cards Side Core: 8 cards
While the manabase and counters show nothing new, I continue to try to live without Necropotence and Dig Through Time. No Dig may be a mistake, but I'm not missing Necro at all. hogpog_98's choice of double Cling to Dust is interesting, especially if we see a rise in Breach decks. I don't know if I'd go to two copies, but one is tasty. Hope of Ghirapur has continued to impress. I even won a mirror match thanks tot the damage it dealt.
I wasn't impressed with Hydroblast, but perhaps it was just my matchups. I'm not sure how I feel about the Leyline of the Void/Surgical Extraction split hogpog_98 played. On the one hand, Bazaar decks haven't felt very present, and Surgical helps more against Hogaak than Dredge. It also feels better against Breach. We can also always Dark Ritual out a Leyline in desperate times. It's something that I'd consider trying.
