TL;DR: It's Doomsday with an infinite walking ballista and storm combo as backup plans.

I wanted a deck that feels fun and challenging to play at the same time. This is a deck that would probably be just as fun to goldfish as it is to play in game. To think of it as an exercise in finding "lethal", weather alone or playing with others.

I also love turbo xerox.

Perfect world:

Turn 2-4 wins, that are not easily predicted by the opponent, with relatively consistent success.

What will likely happen:

I'll draw a bunch of cards that are essentially dead because I never reach the other parts of their combo and have to hard cast shit like murderous redcap and attack for 2 every turn until removal smashes it and someone shits on my face in with commander damage.

How to Succeed:

Doomsday gives us a lot of options. The most basic ones, and what you'll commonly find, are Laboratory Maniac combos. I think these are boring, and susceptible to removal, but they are for the most part, the most efficient in terms of time, mana, and level of effort.

I won't re-write the work other people have done on the subject, because its exhaustive. This guy's primer is wonderful for that:

In addition to the LabMan win cons, we have some storm combos that use Lion's Eye Diamond Conjurer's Bauble and Second Sunrise . Currently it's through the use of Tendrils of Agnoy, but there's also Bitter Ordeal , which I personally think looks sexier.

For more of a creature based wincon, say someone takes our doomsday out of our library, or something else dickish, we have some cute stuff we can do with Mikaeus, the Unhallowed and Walking Ballista .
