If ScreenwriterNY didn't play a few different cards, every single decklist would have been the same this week. There were five unpublished lists – Thanks WotC! – but it didn't seem like a great weekend for Doomsday.

Thoughts
Main Core: 57 cards Side Core: 12 cards
Not much to say this week. Everyone was on the latest discoverN list except for ScreenwriterNY who opted for Duress and an extra Force of Negation.
There isn't a big increase in Breach, so what is going on? Opposition Agents are popping up more often in Esper Tinker, Hogaak can still do a hurting, and Hatebears numbers are also showing up. Despite what Shops players think, it can be a rough matchup for Doomsday. If the luck isn't going your way, Doomsday can easily have a rough week. That seems to be what happened.
Are there any changes we need to make to the list? I don't doubt it, but I'm unsure how much we gain from little tweaking rather than solid play.
