Thoughts

Lurrus is back! I gave it a spin and, I dunno. It's interesting? Tamiyo adds a neat wrinkle, but I often had trouble flipping her. But it's important to keep trying things, right? Right.
The Challenge lists are a bit more normal, but Inquisition of Kozilek is not something I expected to see. While it can eliminate some trouble permanents (Orcs, Frogs, and Cats – oh my!) before they even hit the board, Thoughtseize's two life seems almost preferable to missing Force of Will.
Subtlety. Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. But with Mono-White trying out its new toys, being able to buy a turn when Cavern of Souls is on the board is a good thing.
