Thoughts
It's been a while since we've seen both so few decks and such little variance between them. While the purpose of Spreading Seas is clear, I still don't understand why you'd play it instead of Dress Down.
Interesting to see discoverN trying Defense Grid. It's been fine in certain metas. I'd probably play it before Duress at the moment. The jump to two copies of Sheoldred, the Apocalypse is indicative of the struggle caused by Lurrus Saga. It's also interesting to see Steel Sabotage go up and Mindbreak Trap decline.
