Doomsday Deck Tech

Doomsday is a great combo deck that abuses the homonymous Weatherlight Sorcery. How would you win a game if you only had five cards on your deck but you could short them however you want? That’s the premise that this deck tries to work upon and the creator of its win condition.

Doomsday in Old Frame Vintage Tournaments

Despite its potential, winning once with only two accounted presences, Doomsday has not been severely featured in Old Frame Vintage tournaments. Will we see it more often in the future?
