Last night, I put together a Doomsday deck after getting 3 Doomsday (had 1 sad white bordered one), 1 Meditate and 1 Ill-Gotten Gains. I have the core of a storm deck irl less 2x Lion's Eye Diamond so together with my existing cards, I could more or less assemble a playable deck of some sort (with a bad mana base since I do not own 2x Volcanic Island or any Badlands/Bayou).
The deck is a mesh of the known kill conditions that it commonly runs, having the storm kill, the Emrakul kill and the Lab Maniac kill available post Doomsday.
The white bordered Doomsday looked ugly so I decided to play 2x Burning Wish and put it into the SB. (HAHAHA)
I faced RUG round 1, losing game 1 to not being able to figure out how to win from BB and top.
I won game 2 after going for the Lab maniac kill with protection.
Game 3, my setup was attacked with Spell pierce, Stifle on fetchland, Wasteland etc.
Round 2, I faced Shardless (bant).
Game 1, I cast Doomsday, set up Sheldock Isle + Emrakul and Lab Maniac + double Gitaxian Probe.
He dropped a Karakas to bounce the Emrakul, I cast Lab Maniac, and double probed for the win.
Game 2, he had a mediocre hand but I had to Force of Will a Meddling Mage. I saw that he had creature removals so I opted for the storm kill.
Round 3, I faced the Veteran Explorer deck.
I let him Cabal Therapy me to get the 2 basic lands. Eventually, I stormed for the win.
Game 2, I went for a turn 2 Doomsday after I Diverted a Cabal Therapy to see a clear hand. I did the Lab Maniac kill.
Round 4, I faced D&T. I went for a turn 1 Doomsday and opted to go for the Lab Maniac kill. I was vulnerable to Swords to Plowshares the whole time. He dropped Thalia so I could no longer do the 2 mana kill and had to hardcast Lab Maniac. I safely untapped and Mental Noted for the win.
Game 2, I played slowly, casting Toxic Deluge to clear the threats. I eventually used the storm engine to win at storm 10. Would have been lacking one if he had left W up for Swords to Plowshares.
I liked how the deck just won out of nowhere. I'm looking forward to preparing and testing it online.
I won a True-Name Nemesis for my finish.
I know it sounds silly but would you like to share your decklist? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThe deck looks awesome.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI'm still researching and experimenting on the deck so it will take awhile before I get to a comfortable list to put out. (I just put the list together on Thurs prior to the 4 rnd tourney so it should be very rough)
Also, I have just tweaked my deck to have a possible turn 1 kill and I'm still internally debating on whether or not that is the way I want to go. Plus, I added a Cloud of Faeries to push out Emrakul faster.
I will be testing my current build at the Legacy DE on MTGO in 10 hours and will be streaming it on http://www.twitch.tv/tarmotog so you could see it there (or its replay).
Hi, I just came back from a ptq and made top 8. ：-） will be watching your replays now!
