Thoughts
Pre-Sideboarding. That's why people are putting Vampiric Tutor – and one person even putting Mystical Tutor) – in the side. While the UB Lurrus matchup is nearly impossible, cutting down on the card disadvantage Topdeck Tutors allows each draw to be stronger. The only reason I made the Top 8 in Friday's challenge is that I played four matches that weren't UB Lurrus. (Half-joke. The matches were pretty tough.)
Long Goodbye finally makes an appearance. Doomsday doesn't have the Moxen to support it, but we'll see if it sticks around.
Like Spreading Seas, which shows how much discoverN's influence can hold on players looking up Doomsday lists. Most people are putting in that or Dress Down instead of Vampiric Tutor. It makes sense. Get that value. Spreading Seas does hit Urza's Saga or Bazaar of Baghdad.
