Thoughts

Quite a variety of creatures in Sideboards this week. I tried Sedgemoor Witch and was fairly impressed. Particularly because of the four Flusterstorms.
Abhorrent Occulus still sees some play, but I found it hard to cast. Maybe you are doing it better than me.
The four Flusterstorm/Consider package is a bit of an interesting one. You're working more at instant speed, which might actually make Undercity Sewers worse, but that slot has always been a bit of a tricky one. A fetchland or Watery Grave each has downsides.

Remember: Always Be Casting Doomsday.
And thanks! I love you.
