DOOMSDAY: How Long is Too Long w/ Eric Ratkowski

Zac Invites Eric Ratkowski to discuss the position of Doomsday in the meta. They cover topics such as how long is too long to during a Doomsday player's pile making, Doomsday's performance against different deck archetypes, and the potential impact of new cards from Thunder Junction. Eric shares his insights as a Doomsday player and discusses the favorable and unfavorable matchups for the deck. He also mentions the challenges of finding new cards that can be added to the Doomsday deck without breaking its balance.

Takeaways

The length of time to wait during a Doomsday combo depends on the player's discretion, but around two and a half minutes is a reasonable guideline. Doomsday is favored against fair green decks and tempo decks that lack counter magic, but struggles against control decks and combo decks with heavy disruption. Insatiable Avarice is a potentially interesting card for Doomsday, as it can draw cards and act as a non-revealing personal tutor, providing additional resources for the combo. Finding new cards to add to the Doomsday deck is challenging, as they need to be powerful enough to make an impact without breaking the balance of the deck.
