Thoughts
Well, I was wondering if I would ever accept a decklist running less than four copies of Doomsday, but Psychic Frog truly has changed Vintage.
It's an interesting deck, and I've got a video going up later with me running it through a league. It requires some skill that you (read: me) may not be up to date on if you spend most of your time not attacking with creatures.
Whether or not this is a flash in the pan like, say Tinker Doomsday, or a variant that will branch off into its own deck, I cannot yet say.
What I will say, is Lurrus is a hell of a card. Let's ban it!

And thanks! I love you.
