Change Log

• Replaced 4x Brainstorm with 4x Ponder. The ability to shuffle away a bad future is more important to this deck than instant speed. It's too janky as is.
• Replaced 1x Sigil of Sleep with 1x Retraction Helix, Sigil is only better because it's a permanent, helix has way more utility in what it handles, and it wasn't coming up enough as a 1 of.
• Replace all High Tide(banned) with:
• • Leaden Fists
• • 1xMagic Damper & 1xSigil of Sleep
• • 1xMagic Damper & 1xRetraction Helix
