Thoughts
Main Core: 54 cards Side Core: 8 cards
Number of deck lists and variety dipped hard this week.
No fancy things this week. No main Sheoldred of Fatal Push. Mishra's Bauble or extra Counters. Clean and efficient. Or is it? When Mono White Initiative and Shops numbers are high, do we need something extra in the main? Or should Doomsday focus on ABCD? My feelings are leaning to the latter and why I'm liking Baubles more and more. Get information. Get cards. Cast Doomsday and win.
Creatures and Removal are slightly up this week in an overall flattening of variety. But as Tinker decks are overall doing the best, we need to fight the combo by being a faster combo with the necessary resiliances to win. There's not much room for being fancy in Vintage these days.
