Thoughts
Main Core: 58 cards Side Core: 11 cards
Very subtle differences this week.
Do you choose: Draw, Counter, or Creature?
I played Opposition Agent in the main. Never drew it. Remember: That last card you spend hours thinking about may never be drawn.
Mindbreak Trap is an interesting choice but there is a lot of combo right now, so I get it.
Portent? Up that Blue count.
Everyone likes Ray of Enfeeblement! Or are trying it. discoverN even went up to two. I felt like I missed Murktide Regent in the Prison Shops matchups. But going to three Steel Sabotage felt right. Jewel Shoppes (it's too fancy to spell it Shops) is such a weird matchup that I feel like I need the extra juice. Doesn't hurt against the increasing Prison Shops decks coming up as well.
