Another good showing for Doomsday this week. Archive Trap numbers have yet to seriously increase. Will they, or are people looking for a different angle?

Thoughts
Main Core: 54 cards Side Core: 0 cards
The core has been very consistant. The Counters rows are quite interesting, as there seem to be some consistency here. Draw is still all over the place, and Discard seems to be based on how many Counters you want to be playing. sixmp has a bit of spice with Imperial Seal, which honestly is a bit more attractive with Mishra’s Bauble.
But we can’t agree on a sideboard card, can we? Well, mostly everyone is still on Leyline of the Void. I blame no one, but I still want those extra two sideboard slots. Any of my post-board losses to Bazaar decks lately have not been because of lack of Leyline. Surgical Extraction has also helped out in other matches.
Removal is still fairly all over the place. I’ve been finding The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale to be less and less useful, but I’m sure there’s some luck to that as well.
And Creatures! Three players eschewed them this week to various degrees of success. Looking at Top 8s only doesn’t change much. As always, it comes down to personal choice.
