Thoughts
Why wouldn't you play Demonic Consultation? It's free game wins. Opposition Agent of course can snag a win here and there – we are a Dark Ritual deck – but goodness, play Demonic Consultation.
Now I am the one screwing up sideboard data with weird, no Leyline of the Void lists. I've also not played against Bazaar since taking them out, so I'm playing with the Fates. I expect my comeuppance soon. There seems to be more incidental Doomsday-hate, as opposed to specific, at the moment. This means we can save slots. Go for the quick win. Peek at the enemy's hand and see if it's safe to go off.
It probably is.
