Thoughts
With the release of Tezzeret, Cruel Captain, the meta is going to shift for a while, and we'll see a bit of interesting changes. Doomsday got nothing out of EoE, so we're likely going to see an increase in Consign to Memory, which will be bad overall for Doomsday, is my ultimate guess. People are saying that the versions without Blue spells aren't bad for this deck, but I've always had trouble with Shops and other kinda of decks that have that high number of colorless spells. It's probably my fault. I think there might be a desire to increase the copies of Mindbreak Trap, but it tends to be an awful card versus non-PO decks.
