Why Doomsday? Why not ANT?
2015年10月5日コメント (4)Many people ask me why I play Doomsday. This is why!
First, Doomsday is not better than Normal Storm (ANT). Both decks have strong points and weak points.
I decided to play Doomsday in 2011. I wanted to play ANT, but at that time, Grim Tutor was important--and Grim Tutor was expensive! I did not want to buy Grim Tutor. Really, I started to play Doomsday because Doomsday is cheaper.
Now, I play Doomsday because I have a lot of experience with it, and I have little experience with ANT.
I like Doomsday because:
+I don’t need Infernal Tutor. Because I don’t need to be Hellbent, I can play more lands.
+Doomsday is okay at any life total (except 1 life).
+Doomsday needs less mana than ANT to win the game.
+Doomsday does not use the graveyard to win.
+Doomsday always searches for 5 cards. To be specific:
...I choose 5 cards. Ad Nauseam is random; Doomsday is not random.
...I can play answers in my maindeck to cards like Leyline of Sanctity.
...My win card can search for LED so I don’t need to play many ritual cards.
Another bonus is that many people have little experience against my combo.
Those people see my deck, and they sideboard in their anti-ANT cards.
Anti-graveyard cards do nothing. Gaddock Teeg does nothing...but they don’t know!
Doomsday’s weak points:
-BBB mana is difficult to make.
-Doomsday normally wins on turn three. Turn two cards such asThalia are a problem.
-I need a cantrip (Brainstorm, Ponder, Probe, Top) to win on the same turn I cast Doomsday.
-Doomsday exiles your library. I cannont change my plan after casting Doomsday.
-The order of my cards is important, so cards that hurt my deck order are trouble.
-I must lose half my life, so sometimes I lose to Burn (Fireblast=Force of Will).
-On my combo turn, I must play cards that cost 0, 1, 2, 3.
(Chalice of the Void and Counterbalance are very strong against me.)
-Doomsday deck needs Sensei’s Divining Top. Playing with Top for 5+ rounds is VERY hard.
I hope that answers some questions.
Next time, I will talk about Laboratory Maniac in Doomsday.

I have played ANT for 3 month but playing is poor.
So I hope to study common technique of generating more storm or effective hand destructions over archetype of storm combo.
I’m looking forward to meeting you or reading next article !
I’m so happy my discussion with you about DDFT in Diarynote!
May I print your article in my page, making a translation into Japanese, OK?
Storm is difficult, but if you practice, you can do it.
いっせー - Yes, you can use my articles!
If you have any questions about translation, I can try to help.
Thanks for putting up with me.
