Thoughts

Had I expected to add Abhorrent Oculus to the data this week? Nope! But that's SingPanMan for you. Always trying things.
Consider saw a decent amount of play this week, which seems to support the idea of keeping up, or at least faking you have, Flusterstorm for all these Paradoxical Outcome decks. Whether or not that is the greatest of strategies is yet to be seen. But it works with jamming out the aforementioned Oculus. Let's see if that card causes a rift in Doomsday lists in the coming weeks.
