Thoughts

Everyone went in on Abhorrent Oculus this week. Except for the Cat players, obviously.
I went and asked SingPanMan why this card. (I found it hard to cast the first time I tried it, but I need to try it more.) Basically, its ability to go wide provides defense while the Oculus itself can go on the offensive. The card even has play against Mono White Initiative. I'll give it a few more spins myself to see how I feel about it.

And thanks! I love you.
