As Jeskai continues to rule and Initiative Stompy starts to show up more and more, Doomsday is still putting up mildly numbers. So close to being hot.

Thoughts
Main Core: 55 cards Side Core: 7 cards
Temporal Mastery is... interesting. I'm not sure about it yet. I have beaten Narset by getting two extra turns with it and Time Walk. I'll continue to test it, but with only one copy of Brainstorm, it is less good.
Nothing new in sideboards this week. Suspend continues to impress, although I'm not sure if it's exactly what the deck needs. Initiative Stompy raises the question if Cut Down is good enough. White Plume Adventurer being a 3/3, and soon after a 5/5, causes quite some issues. In Vintage we have the speed to not worry about it too much. Archon of Emeria is much more of a problem. Still, an Adventurer can finish the game fast.
