Thoughts

I really want to talk to duke12, because that list is absolutely wild.

The tend towards Counters instead of Draw is not surprising considering everyone is excited about Beseech the Mirror.

Opposition Agent seems to be bugged, well, the rules are "miswritten", but the point is your opponent will get to cast (or put into their hand) the card you select. Still, being able to disrupt the combo is good.
