Vintage Doomsday Deck List Analysis for 2021.04.25-26

I could only find four decks this week. There was the Vintage Showcase Qualifier, which included five Doomsday decks according to the gathered data. Alas, if Wizards posted the lists I have no idea where. Which is a shame because there seems to have been a list splashing Witherbloom Apprentice. What we have instead is another week with all list sporting the discoverN Standard, and a smattering of interesting sideboard choices.

Thoughts

Another week of the same sixty. Twelve sideboard cards are also the same. Tasigur, the Golden Fang The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale is at a low, likely a result of BUG doing a number on Bazaar strategies. The only unique call is discoverN trying an Archive Trap for the mirror, although he did not seem to play it in the challenge, only the league.

In my own leagues I have been seeing a lot of Sedgemoor Witch, which means many copies of Flusterstorm. This has ben frustrating, and I have been trying my own copy of the Witch, which as been nice way to buy some time, but I have yet to see anyone really push it in Doomsday yet.
