Thoughts
Lean and mean decklists this week.
In fact, I'm the asshole playing Misdirection and Chain of Vapor and throwing off the balance. (And not doing too well, but I don't blame my one-offs! At least not yet.)
Treasure Cruise is back almost 100%. All those cantrips fillin' up the 'yard. It's kind of beautiful, as the Main Deck is becoming a lean cantripping machine, and it is so easy to side into what you need.
What we need, although, is becoming harder to define as the meta floats around Lurrus and Jewel in mysterious ways. My big fear is the number of people slotting Underworld Breach and Brain Freeze into Lurrus shells. The better Breach is, the worse Doomsday is going to do.
