1. Doomsayer on 4 is still a decent play by him. If I'm cube running giants (which I was) it stops that. He also doesn't have any combo pieces in hand and while it would suck for him if I like ratted out arcanologist or coldlight, it's not like he loses because of it. On top of that, cube sees much more play at upper legend over control. If I have lackey i need to coin it out too which means I can't combo it with cube and pact the next turn either.

2. So on this turn I had 3 plays I was considering. The first was to drop lackey. This is extremely weak to a freeze effect as he can bump and play one with like a second doomsayer or something, or something like artificer. It gives me the most power the next turn, but also provides the most risk. I also have a potential defile with lackey the next turn if he drops books (which he hasn't played yet) I was also considering just cubing the doomguard because I know quest mage has no way to silence minions. However, at the time I had no way of breaking the cube and cubing it puts -1 attack on the board for me. This is relevant because his hp is in a multiple of 5. The other consideration for lackey was that I did have cube so even if he froze and doomsayered I could just cube my doomguard (but even that didn't seem like the best play in the world). Granted, I could have just not played the hellfire which might have been the best play. But I don't think this is matchup where I just don't do anything on a turn. It's just that I don't think any of my plays were particularly good at turn.

3. I played prince 3 because at the time (aside from doomguard) it was the most valuable card in my hand. So I just wanted it on the field. But I still probably should not have played it that turn and took the tap.
