Thoughts
Main Core: 52 cards Side Core: 0 cards
Mishra's Bauble, we hardly knew ye. However, with all these copies of The One Ring being jammed, I'm expecting BUG style decks packing Collector Ouphe to be back in style. How good they do, I can't say. (I'd bet not very.) But I do expect a rise in them.
Daze slowly coming back should be no surprise considering how pressed we are for stopping decks like Jewel Shoppes and Initiative at key moments.
Xaar cut down on Street Wraith for more counters and Lotus Petal. I don't like it. Street Wraith is something I've learned not to cut even against aggro matches. Yes, it costs life, but the speed is important.
Ah, not a single card shared amongst all sides. With The One Ring and Orcish Bowmasters dropping last week, where Vintage ends up is still a bit of a curiosity.
I was the only one to put Bowmasters in my side, and I never cast them. Going both Bowmaster and Sheoldred was overkill. I did like Null Rod, though, with all The One Rings being tossed about.
But one of my losses was to Oath, which really makes me like sixmp's choice of Annul. Yes, it does not bounce like Steel Sabotage, but doing most of what Steel Sabotage is in for and hitting a bit wider is interesting. I might have to try it out.

The next sideboard I'm going to try is 4 Leyline, 2 Bowmasters, 2 Annul, 2 Null Rod, 2 Cut Down, 2 Mindbreak Trap, 1 Force of Negation. Wish me luck.
