Thoughts

The results for Doomsday are going to be rough this coming Eternal Weekend. Honestly, if you have multiple decks to choose from in paper, I'd probably stay away at the moment. No one has really cracked the best way for us to handle Breach and Lurrus as the top two decks.

But if you love nothing more than stacking five cards, keep on trying!

I think we have a decent chance if we focus on the combo and keep sideboarding simple. Don't be cute. Drop the cards that don't help your matchup and side in just enough to keep going. I'd love to see someone Top 8!

Were I playing, I think my sideboard would favor Cut Down over Fatal Push right now as Hullbreacher numbers are up and in paper Mono-White Initiative is likely to be a common encounter.

Good luck to those playing!
