1) Consistency and robustness mostly. Ad Nauseam remains random and requires plenty of life, Doomsday kills are deterministic and can be performed from as little as 2 life. Ad Nauseam also emposes...

If you weren't playing Infernal Contract in the sideboard but Act on Impulse or Edge of Autumn instead, there would have been more options.



I think the main reason is that you can't really use...

There's also the deck database subforum on stormboards where we discuss individual lists (http://teamstormboards.proboards.com)

Nah, this thread started in 2007, the deck has changed quite dramatically quite a few times since then. Sure the banning of SDT has had a lot of impact on how the deck plays. But I'd like to argue...

Nice read, thanks for posting!

I disagree with this, you are oversimplifying things by a very large margin. Most ANT lists play 4 Brainstorm 4 Ponder 4 Gitaxian Probe and 3 (sometimes 4) slots of some combination of Preordain and...

I've been playing Doomsday for a very long time and reading false statements about the deck like these over and over again is quite annoying. (I have to say, the only reason that I bother to respond...

Perhaps a stupid question, but: How often do people you play against name Tendrils of Agony against TES when they play Meddling Mage? I don't think it's the best target for them to name, I would...

I can confirm that. It also appears some ANT players are now preferring to run multiple Sensei's Divining Tops in the sideboard instead of Young Pyromancers to grind out that matchup. Doomsday...

Fully agree. Very good advice.

Thanks for writing up the report! It's very cool to read about someone playing Doomsday at such a big tournament. I think you actually did very well! Too bad you lost against Dredge and ANT those are...

Do you seriously think that in the 7 year history of this deck you're the first one to suggest and test Goblin War Strike? It has been discussed to death, Goblin War Strike is way too situational....

Copying a spell does not retrigger storm, so what is so important that you want to spend 2 mana and a card to copy it?

Yes having blue is very important. You don't want too many lands that don't produce blue mana. Bayou is probably fine if you aren't running Badlands already. The thing is, you don't want to draw your...

Not exactly. This is a Doomsday storm combo thread, focusing on playing preemptive protection like discard spells or Silence in combination with Lion's Eye Diamond and no Force of Wills. I think...

Your question is a bit unclear, do you want this only for game 1 or would you want to add Thought Scour and Unearth as sideboard cards to deal with Snares? It is of course a trade-off between being...

Alright thanks a lot! I'd like to hear how it turns out!

I'm looking into Lab Man piles now, but what I don't get is how exactly does Chromatic Sphere protect you from removal in a pass the turn pile for 2UU?

I get that the draw is part of the mana...

Perhaps I should just try Lab Man out, but the fear of drawing a dead card or losing to removal on lab man is still a bit heavy on me. Is there an overview of lab man piles anywhere?

I haven't played with Lab Man myself, but I suppose you could just swap the Chain of Vapor with a Lab Man in the main (and if that's required swap a petal for a chromatic sphere). I'm more a fan of...

If you miss the chants so much, you're welcome to give this a try:

4 Polluted Delta
4 Flooded Strand
3 Underground Sea
2 Volcanic Island
1 Scrubland
1 Tundra
1 Island
1 Swamp

Haha thought exactly the same! I was up till 3 am, but that wasn't enough ;-)

Against decks that simply can't deal with 10 to 12 1/1 tokens turn one: RUG Delver, Pox, etc. Basically any non-combo deck without SFM->Batterskull or mass removal.

I guess no vintage deck played Lightning Bolt, good luck with testing that! :-D

Ah I miscounted. I guess I tried to answer the question of "how on earth has he found space for all that?" too quickly. First I thought he must not be playing Gitaxian Probe, then I thought it was...
