I did play this deck a fair bit right after the top ban before moving off it, and back then main deck thoughtseizes were pretty stock, but looking around it seems most, but not all, have moved away from that, replacing those spots with more spot removal / grind cards. Do you guys not find yourselves missing it for comb? 2 thoughtseizes doesn't seem like an overwhelming amount clogging the deck, they're still live vs other midrange/control decks, and aren't that bad vs delver g1, though I'd probably still side them out. But I do feel like with only 2 Hymn and 4 FOW preboard, combo is a wash g1. Do you just find combo not being popular enough compared to other grindy decks where removal and threats would be a bit better? Or does cutting thoughtseize not hurt combo as much as I think?
