Thoughts
With a Top 8 showing last week, I expected a few more players to register Doomsday. The meta doesn't even look particularly bad at the moment. UB Lurrus is a problem. But many people are splashing White or playing UW, which isn't as bad. Any dilution in Lurrus helps Doomsday. Dredge is popular but also a coin flip match. Dredge players tell me the Doomsday matchup is hard. I don't know if I agree.
I'm up to three copies of Dress Down. Saga is rampant. What's new? Well, my copies of Undercity Sewers are, and they are lovely. I must write my thoughts about that card because it is a doozy.
