Removal dipped for a slight increase in other forms of interaction. With Jewel and Prison Shops doing well as of late, nothing surprises me here.

Main Mindbreak Trap is something that makes sense, but I hate. Recency bias, as the card has been rotting in my hand a lot recently. I must give off "I have MBT" vibes, because I have lost with it in hand so many times lately. Anyway.


Everyone seems to be searching for the Removal they like best and getting the most value out as few slots as possible. Doomsday is a combo deck, so we have to have answers for their disruption while not diluting our plan too much. Fancy Sideboard cards are tempting, but we still win most games with Doomsday into Thassa's Oracle.
