Thoughts
I don't get Clone9's White-splash for only Monastery Mentor, but godspeed. Especially when you cut Demonic Consultation. But I digest.
Daze is coming back, and I'm not a fan when there's so much heavy control in the format.
Discard is also seeing a decent increase, which does make sense with all the control decks. We can't wait around forever. The more cards they draw, the worse off we'll be. But Doomsday can't just jam and pray. Discard helps a lot here.
My guess is we'll see a reaction to the Tinker decks, then a decrease in Breach, and Doomsday will be at a good spot again in perhaps a month or two, with the consistent Doomsday players seeing the best results.
Same as it ever was.
