As a tangent to the previous discussion of Burning Wish in Doomsday, I was curious about how much of a benefit Burning Wish offers by being able to access Empty the Warrens (EtW), so I performed a...

Good analysis! My rebuttal below:



This is correct, although overly simplifies two categories of combo turns; specifically whether the blue mana for Ideas Unbound comes from LED or from IMS...

Thanks for the reply!



This is true. However, my results in game 1 have been very encouraging. You yourself noted that there were very few game 3's in my reports. This is due to the success I...

I apologize if I misread this quote, but this is a very strong statement and discouraging testing seems to be needlessly constraining exploration of the deck. Especially after I had posted somewhat...

We still retain an advantage as the opponent is usually forced to dilute their deck with answers to two different problems whereas we can decide to sideboard back into storm or remain with the Mentor...

Thanks for the response! I had sent you a PM with a quick response to your comments. The points require some discussion so I'll cover them one at a time, starting with the sideboard

Against which threats is Flusterstorm better than discard? I understand that Flusterstorm is very strong against combo, but seems worse against Blue as this prevents you from using LED in the combo...

Thanks for the input! I'm still working on a response to Dr_D, which I will post later.





Most of the times Mox Opal merely acts as a fifth Lotus Petal. Very rarely the deck has the powerful...

MTGO Leagues Report #2/3
Likely the last post containing game details for a while (I would appreciate feedback on technical play if possible!)

TLDR
More data points!
7-3 (15-9) in 2 MTGO...

Generating Extra Storm
If you need extra storm (with a Top in play) you can use the standard pile of:
Ideas Unbound
LED
LED
Sensei's Divining Top
Tendrils of Agony

Where this will generate...

One more small data point:

3-1 (7-4) at local weekly

1-2 vs. Maverick
2-1 vs. Lands
2-1 vs. Lands
2-0 vs. Death and Taxes

I know Lands is a very favorable matchup (I lost one game before...

I have tried some flavor of the transformative sideboard and various counts of Mox Opals in this deck to reasonable success in the past. This is the first iteration where I cut Burning Wish and the...

Thanks! Fixed.

MTGO Leagues Report

I am trying a new build of Doomsday that goes all in on a transformative sideboard (see below) and decided to cut red, opting instead to use Lim-Dul's Vault over Burning Wish....

I agree on bringing in Cabal Therapy and replacing Silence against Death and Taxes; I was thinking more about the Burn and Chalice matchups (I will trade lands against Chalice of the Void decks more...

In my opinion they come in to help get around sideboard cards; it's much easier to resolve a Monastery Mentor than a Doomsday against a hand full of Flusterstorms, Pyroblasts (for Ideas Unbound) or a...

I am writing a report on my (somewhat disappointing) performances at Eternal Weekend and at the SCG Premier IQ in Milwaukee.

In the meantime, here are two videos of my matches at the last two...

The piles are almost identical to those used in traditional Doomsday; the biggest difference is the 1 turn speed boost gained when drawing an active Mox Opal and the higher probability of casting a...

That's me on camera there :smile:. The list I'm playing there (5C Doomsday with Mox Opal) has gone through some changes, the main difference is the removal of the artifact lands for more fetchlands...

Wow, I did not expect so much feedback; this is great! Many points were made, specifically about the manabase and choice of protection, that require discussing multiple concepts. As background, I...

MTGO Daily Event

I've been trying a few different builds of Doomsday, including trying to accelerate with Mox Opal to mixed results (roughly a 50% win rate). This addition allowed for much faster...
