Thoughts

Look at all those copies of Vampiric Tutor in the sideboard!
I haven't tried it myself (Too chicken.), but I would love to hear some thoughts on it. We'll see if this trend continues, but I assume it's a Copy/Paste thing.
Despite Jewel's strong position, we're seeing a decline in Steel Sabotage and Mindbreak Trap hitting a recent high. It makes sense – you might not get a turn against Jewel if their hand is good enough.
I love paper players, though. I had to add so many weird cards this week. If Overwhelming Denial ever shows up again, I'll be surprised. Well, I won't, but I'll pretend to be.
