Thoughts
I hope you will forgive my lateness. It's obon in Japan, which, uh, look it up. I'm not your Japanese Culture teacher. I am, however, willing to admit I was not in a hurry to post just one list. The boredom was likely high with it being the last weekend before The Fantasticar's obvious restriction.
Now, I'd argue that one copy of that in Doomsday is correct. It felt good when I played it. Just having another potential win condition, or putting out something that the opponent can't exactly ignore, but can sneak in for four damage and then maybe even go off the turn you are trying to resolve Doomsday is just neat.
And I got a lot more words out for this article than I expected, so I think I deserve a treat.

Remember: Always Be Casting Doomsday.
And thanks! I love you.
