Thoughts

Main Core: 56 cards Side Core: 5 cards

Despite the number of lists, there is quite a tight core this week. Seeing these few attempts of playing Yawgmoth's Will makes me want to give it a spin to see how it plays out. My experience with Merchant Scroll was that it could be fine, but sometimes didn't get what I needed. Yawgmoth's Will, though, could do quite a bit in the matchups where you need to try again.

I really wish I could talk to someone who played Gaea's Blessing and had success, because I want to know if it was in spite of it or not. It feels like Leyline of the Void. Yes, we play it for when we absolutely need it, but Doomsday can often win without having to worry about ever getting it out. Yet, discoverN has kept it in for so many weeks that I have to assume there is something to it.

And thanks! I love you.
