Lower numbers this week, but good turnover for those playing the deck. As always, you have to love my ""ability"" to call the meta, as I said to pack those Opposition Agents to counteract all those Doomsday players. Of which there were so few.
Whoops.

Thoughts
Main Core: 55 cards Side Core: 8 cards
The mains are fairly standard this week, only reiderrabbit being on a bit of a throwback to the double Duress and Daze plan, opting to play slightly less draw than others.
It looks like discoverN is off of the Monastery Mentor package for now. Time and place and all that. SingPanMan continues to dance to to the beat of his own drum, opting to play two copies of Sedgemoor Witch and Hydroblast. I've been playing one copy of the Witch, and been loving it. Although, learn from my mistakes and don't get too hasty attacking with it. We're a combo deck. Losing the Witch to a flashed in Endurance hurt. (Yes, I know it has Menace. They had another creature.) Doomsday is a Vintage deck that wins with creatures, but be careful. The Witch is there to keep you alive and win if the chance arises.
With all the Hogaak and Tinker reiderrabbit playing Grafdigger's Cage is quite a good call. Sadly we lack Urza's Saga to help search it out, but as far as multi-purpose cards go, Grafdigger's does a lot of work. Dismember, however, I'm not sure how I feel about. That's a lot of life to spend sometimes when Fatal Push takes care of the bulk we want to get rid of.
