bulk changes on Doomskar
24/01/2021 - we hit 40% of coverage for the set!
bulk changes on the dataset: all Pathways, all snow dual taplands, as well as Shimmerdrift Vale, have been rated through, and removed from the list of cards to consider - a big jump in progress, bringing more concentration in interesting pairs to rate
bulk changes: Invoke the Divine, Annul, Disdainful Stroke, Broken Wings, which depend on what the opponent plays, and have little synergy with any other card of the set, were set to "no additional benefit" with all other cards (OK, they're instants, so Karfell Harbinger can help pay for their casting cost... and arguably holding on to a Disdainful Stroke while playing a Tibalt's Trickery may help feel a bit more secure)
bulk changes: Weathered Runestone would surely mess up your graveyard recursion plans most of the time, so better keep it for your sideboard; however, it nullifies Tibalt's Trickery's drawback, and Starnheim Courser discounts its casting cost. So, aside of these, it's a "no additional benefit" everywhere - or much worse.
