Once again discoverN takes the Sunday challenge. Very few seem to follow him in the choice double Portent, but it seems to be paying off.

Thoughts
Main Core: 55 cards Side Core: 10 cards
Everyone played the same amount of counters, but discoverN was up on Draw. And also got first place Sunday. Skill is probably the most important factor here (luck doesn't hurt), but finding the right spells is part of the skill and luck. Portent lets you dig.
The sideboards are fairly similar again. The Monastery Mentor plan is becoming less frequent, and Murktide Regent is putting in work. I lost to it versus discoverN in the mirror. Murk happens.
