Thoughts

Bazaar numbers are way up, so it's no surprise 4 Leyline and The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale are played in every single list. The format needs to settle, so we're going to see diverse Sideboards for a few weeks.
I'm not surprised main Psychic Frog numbers dropped – it was a pre-sideboard for Lurrus, and Bazaar numbers were expected to be high. After this weekend, I think Frog is going to be a choice based on how much Lurrus is around. Another benefit to them is that Esper seems to be seeing play and this gives them a target for Swords to Plowshares so Oracle has a better chance of not being hit, or giving us an extra bit of Devotion so that we don't have to zero our deck to win with Oracle.
