This is the mirror match, so Dust to Dust is strong against their Melded Moxite, Ragged Short Spear, and Soul-Guide Lantern, exiling two artifacts for value. Palace Sentinels grabs the monarch and provides extra card advantage in a grindy mirror where incremental value matters most. Prismatic Strands is weaker here since both decks deal moderate, not overwhelming, damage, and trimming some Pursue the Past smooths out a mirror that can become a long grind over card quality rather than raw card draw. Keep your equipment and Dispatch package intact, since those are core to winning combat in the mirror.
