Thoughts

We're seeing an interesting number of one-offs this week. Trimming a Street Wraith for that one extra card is more popular every week. That's the power of well-known players. I'm not sold on it yet. I am sold on keeping Defense Grid in my sideboard, although I don't know if I'd play a complete set.
