Thoughts
Perhaps Lurrus Doomsday isn’t good, but TsubasaCat is very good at playing it? The world may never know.
I’m very curious about SingPanMan going with no Ponder, but 4 Preordain and 4 Consider. Now, there are some plays you can make with Preordain and Demonic Consultation, which is particularly effective when Archon of Emeria or Shops are limiting your ability to play multiple spells per turn. But SingPanMan experiments, and the results are always interesting.
