Thoughts
We have a huge gap between places on Saturday's tournament and Sunday not so great. Lurrus is a bit of a tough matchup, and as long as it is popular, Doomsday is going to really be playing the matchup game.
I like seeing Clone9 trying Planar Void again. This might be a worthy card if we're not going all in on graveyard hate but want something. Again, I wish there was a Black Pitch card that Doomsday could utilize well, but this seems like a Monkey's Paw situation with Modern Horizons 3 around the corner.
