Thoughts

Oh, how Lurrus has damaged my pretty, pretty tables.
There's been a resurgence of Planeswalker-based control decks that are very, very slow to win. I'm unsure what potential changes we might need — Opposition Agent did some work against the deck but they pack Swords to Plowshares, so it's not a great option. We might simply get away with enough counterspells and working the speed angle? Time will tell if they stick around anyway. Lurrus PO feels like a much safer deck to be piloting anyway.
