Thoughts

I was hoping for a Lurrus ban before posting this, but I guess we’re stuck with that stupid cat. But there’s no time to be sad. There’s data to look at!
If we’re playing the Cat, then Momentum Breaker is on-color, reusable removal. And discard. And lifegain! It slices, it dices, it makes me exhausted.
But there is a bit of a decline in the number of Cat Lurrus, and we’re seeing standard variants putting in numbers as well. Now, is there anything we can learn from Lurrus Doomsday, or are the decks fundamentally different?
