Round 2 bans:

Nova and dimension shield

I'm okay with those picks.  Nova seems pretty reasonable.  I could maybe see taking another card over dimshield, but in the absence of any better suggestions I'm okay with it.

Spoiler for discussion

Spoiler for Hidden:

Our round 3 opponents are LIGHT, WATER, TIME, and FIRE.  My two second impression is to pick

Spoiler for Hidden:

sanctuary and shard of patience.  Sanctuary prevents several stalls, in all four elements, really, and shard of patience stops several strong decks as well.  Fire hasn't historically used SoP that I'm aware of, (and I think everyone should :p) but even if they didn't use it, I think they're both pretty solid picks.  I haven't looked at what potential decks we've actually seen when picking those two cards; they're literally just my gut reaction.  I'll give it a bit of thought and come back to this later if anyone else has suggestions/feedback.

.  Any thoughts?

I think we have two different approaches here. I was thinking to play a lot of stall breakers this round like, nymph tears, sop, mono earth with pulvy and fractal decks. In that case we want our opponent to play stalls. For instance I think light would have big problem with a water duo. Time would probably struggle vs fractal+dims?
I was thinking of sundials, since time loves to play them. And maybe bonewall?

But sancs and sop are good choices too. It just depends on what we want to counter.
