Thoughts
Main Core: 41 cards Side Core: 4 cards
The main lists are similar to last weeks. Except for Kanbara, who loves Discard and Imperial Seal. No one else has really tried discoverN’s Mishra’s Bauble plan to success yet. I did have some success in MO but not so much at the Emperor of Vintage tournament.
discoverN is up to three copies of Snuff Out now. Most players seem to be going for as many pieces of removal as both Shops and Bazaar hate. I’m still not convinced the best plan for Initiative has been found yet.
I do have a question that I think I need to dwell on this week. Does Leyline of the Void still deserve a spot in the sideboard right now? That’s a lot of slots for a card that is only quite solid against Dredge, the least popular of the Bazaar variants at the moment.
