Thoughts

Main Core: 56 cards Side Core: 11 cards

It's safe to say discoverN has the right idea with Monastery Mentor. Me? I'm stubborn as hell and will still be playing Sedgemoor Witch for now, but I'd recommend packing that Tundra.

Slasher21 dropped Necropotence and, weird to say, played Lotus Petal instead. Then choosing Thought Scour over the second Portent, these are subtle, but interesting changes to discoverN's list. The sideboard remains the same.


Which is to say, nothing interesting out of the sides this week. Bazaar decks, namely Hogaak, are still out in large numbers. This is making Doomsday's numbers tick up as well, so perhaps don't be too hasty to leave that Opposition Agent at home.
