Thoughts
The cycle continues. Doomsday having problems with Wasteland decks and those decks are prevalent. Less win-rate, less people play, less people place.
Unless something gets printed that finds a permanent home in Doomsday, this cycle is going to repeat for the coming years. And that's fine. As much as I love playing Doomsday, I don't want it to be the only good deck in the format.
There's not much to add this week except that Dredge seeing an uptick (as it's good versus Orcs), means I wouldn't go taking Leyline of the Void out of your sideboard anytime soon.
