Decklist Compendium

This page serves as a repository of Doomsday decklists past and present.

In the Historical Decklists section are examples of lists from the past. Most are unplayable due to bannings, while some are still legal but have been obviated by new printings.

Current Decklists

The lists can either play a more reactive role and focus on building resources before going off like the below Esper Doomsday list or be more all in. Since Thassa's Oracle is so compact and cheap compared to its predecessor alternatives, it can still allow for quick wins with an actual long game plan.

Pilots like to experiment on a daily basis and keeping lists here simply is not feasible. Worry not, for newer lists can always be found in our Discord server in the #decklists-and-reports channel.

Historical Decklists

A list from just after the Gitaxian Probe ban, but before Experimental Frenzy. It looks quite similar to the Echo list, and in fact served as a source of inspiration to the construction of that list.

After the banning of Sensei's Divining Top, the deck changed its shape a little bit. The number of copies of Lotus Petal was increased to pump up the speed, since without Top the ability to grind was diminished. Conjurer's Bauble saw its first appearance as a stored draw like Top was, and as a way to loop cards back into Doomsday piles.

The classic list, considered by many to be the most playable form of the deck. It was built to beat the Miracles decks of the day, and the maindeck copies of Abrupt Decay and the full playset of Top helped it play a long game and muscle through Counterbalance. Shelldock Isle and Emrakul, Xantid Swarm, and more decays gave it a strong sideboard plan against the slow blue decks.

RiP Sensei's Divining Top.

This is the earliest Doomsday list I could find. There are some clear similarities with the classic list but also some weird ANT-like aspects mixed in. It looks very unrefined, but you can see a lot of the hallmarks of later Storm decks. An interesting piece of history but not remotely playable, and not only because of the banned cards.
