So recently I have felt myself moving further and further away from mayhem.

I know it can be a game winner if drawn in the first turn or 2 but I feel with the tiny defenses being run in t-1 I have that adding a defensive Dom into a deck and removing mayhem has become a route I am taking more often.

So few players want to waste a Dom slot on Guardian of Your Souls that falling away is gaining some steam as a replacement for mayhem.   Granted it can be a dead card but even if your opponent runs guardian and gets to it before you get to FA you aren't really out much. He needed a card to stop yours so it essentially and even swap.

However when they don't run guardian you basically can eliminate NJ from their deck.

In these races to 5 souls making your opponent need 6 becomes a huge advantage.

I am really Just curious if anyone else feels the same way or if I am just crazy?
