Thoughts

Main Core: 54 cards Side Core: 1 card

Take MaxMagicer’s list if you want to play Doomsday. If you want to do some tweaking, look below.


discoverN and I are the only ones still playing a set of Mishra’s Bauble. SingPanMan gave three copies of Grief a shot like he did last summer. Other than that, very, very stable lists at the moment.


Well, the mains. The sides are quite in flux. The popularity of Sheoldred, the Apocalypse is due to the strength of Control Bazaar, aka SqueeVine, at the moment. Murktide is at a real low, and Opposition Agent is climbing back due to the increase in Doomsday mirrors. Be careful when you fecth, friends.
