Thoughts

Whoops. Little late. Uh, sorry? Not much really to discuss here. Doomsday isn't even being represented in the challenge. Which I think is odd since Oath is wiping up some of our harder matchups, and Oath, along with Jewel Shops, aren't difficult matchups for Doomsday. But UB (or UW) Lurrus is popular, and so is Initiative. So we must keep vigilent and play our Dark Rituals.

I see a copy of Annul, and I disapprove.
