Eternal Durdles

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.

Zac wonders if Legacy just needs its own timeline for B&R announcements. In the last couple of years Legacy has been experiencing an influx of cards on the same level with Standard thanks to the increased product cycle of EDH products that skip over Modern/Pioneer/Standard. The hosts discuss the dominance of the Scaminator deck in Legacy and the need for a separate banlist announcement for the format. They explore the concept of sacred cows in Legacy and the cycle of banning symptoms rather than addressing the root causes. The hosts also discuss the challenges of learning to beat top decks and the frustration of constant rotation in the format. They suggest the need for explicit discussions about sacred cows and the importance of format curation. The conversation concludes with predictions about future bans and the impact of Universes Beyond cards.
