Thoughts

If you can't beat 'em, beat them in the head with four 4/4s. That fly because why not.

Whether or not Vroomsday, as it appears we are calling it, sticks around or not, it seems that having a Fantasticar (or four until it gets restricted) in the sideboard isn't a terrible plan. Maybe one sticks around in the mainboard for even post restriction because another win condition is never a bad thing.

Remember: Doomsday is a Vintage deck that wins with creatures.
