Thoughts

Holy crap, that's a lot of lists. Now, if I could convince people never to register Tinker Doomsday again, these differences would shrink. Alas.

What am I missing with the steady appearance of Sheoldred, the Apocolypse in Doomsday sideboards? Bazaar numbers are down, it's bad against Jewel and even Shops because of Metamorph. Are people finding it that good against UB Lurrus?

(I forgot my Null Rod yesterday. Null Rod has been doing work for me in paper lately. Try Null Rod today!)
