Thoughts

It's nice to see some others trying Barrowgoyf. Consign to Memory has some double-duty action in it, and while it cannot bounce like Steel Sabotage, flexibility is always a plus.
I'm not surprised to see discoverN trying out Psychic Frog, but I think the cost is pretty hard for Doomsday to cast, and there's not a whole lot we want to be discarding to it. Not that we don't have things, and cracking a pile with the Frog is pretty sweet. But I don't see it sticking around.
