Thoughts
Cutting Demonic Consultation and doing well might seem important. I’m still not sold. Cut Necropotence. Please! While Murktide Regent is a nice clock, I wish we had some utility creatures that could serve for the blocking we need and further the Doomsday gameplan. So far, nothing really exists. Maindeck Chain of Vapor seems like a solid choice considering the meta right now. Bouncing a sphere or a Hollow One might just buy the right opportunity to close the game.
Sideboards are also getting fairly homogenized. While I look through various sets to see if there are any weird cards that might play a role, it seems like we Doomsday players need to focus on playing well and resolving Doomsday fast. Getting too cute might ruin our days. We don’t usually win through damage.
Always Be Casting Doomsday
