Thoughts
Main Core: 56 cards Side Core: 9 cards
The mains are fairly stable this week, although SingPanMan playing double Sleight of Hand is quite interesting.
Gaea's Blessing and Tombstalker make a surprising return this week. Enrichetta tried Gaea's Blessing back in Eternal Weekend 2021. Putting it in the pile can protect against Archive Trap, Ipnu Rivulet as well as Brain Freeze. A Breach player can play around Blessing, but this works better when their plan is to play Land, Mox, and Brain Freeze you for six.
Tombstalker hasn't seen play since SingPanMan tried it back in February 2022. No one has taken up Cut Down yet, but I'm still convinced it is the right choice over Fatal Push. The differences are subtle, but Cut Down will catch on in time.
