Doomsday is awesome.

Doomsday is among the coolest Magic strategies ever. Vintage players, like myself, adore Doomsday, and have for many years. Legacy players, and especially a cabal of combo players, have grown equally fond of Doomsday. Legacy Dark Ritual players want to be the coolest kid in the room, and let’s be honest, they are. Doomsday players are the true magicians of Magic. They are the David Copperfields and David Blaines. They bewilder their opponents with a mastery of the format and complex formulas that most can’t wrap their heads around.

When Laboratory Maniac was spoiled, I gushed about its potential as a Doomsday win condition in my Innistrad set review. Within a week of testing, it became clear that I had created a deck that Brian DeMars said “broke the format,” which I used to Top 8 one of America’s marquis Vintage events, the Waterbury. To this day, my Vintage Doomsday deck is one of the most interesting and popular specialty decks in the format.

What is not known, however, is that during that time I have been secretly working on a Legacy build as well. It’s taken literally months of testing and tuning to develop. Allow me to blow your mind. I’m pleased to introduce…Meandeck Doomsday.
