Thoughts

Remeber kids, split your Islands to play one Snow-Covered Island and one regular Island, or you might top eight Eternal Weekend.

Oh.

Well, it doesn't always come up. But it is optimal! Trust me!

The top 8 list eschewing Dredge hate for more creature removal and then losing to Dredge in top 8 isn't karma. It's just luck! Dredge is a toss up whether or not you have those Leylines, you know? (Nothing is more frustrating that getting game one against Dredge and losing the match post-sideboard.)

Since the real Eternal Weekend is coming up in Japan at the end of the month, it'll be worth looking at these lists and seeing what the meta changes to by then.

Star Trek will likely have zero impact.
