Thoughts

Main Core: 54 cards Side Core: 3 cards


discoverN is back to being the only one championing Mishra's Bauble. The more I play it the less sure I am of it. Slowtrip that it is, it's still free draw and most other players are only playing 1, and sometimes 0, extra pieces of draw.


All the numbers this week are such slight changes. A little less Creatures and Removal, and a little bit more of Lands and Discard. Kazuga decided to ignore Anti-Graveyard cards in favor of a clean sideboard that deals with big problems in a broad way. It was only there for one day, but discoverN playing [[Dream Salvage]] made me first look up what the hell it was. Then I got excited to try it. If I get six cards against Bazaar one day, it will be worth the money I spent on the foil copy I ordered.
