Doomsday After Entomb — What’s Actually Good

Phil sits down with Tall Eric — Eternal Weekend North America Top 8 competitor and one of the most committed Doomsday pilots in the format — to break down post-Entomb-ban Doomsday heading into Luca / Eternal Weekend Europe.

Eric explains how the deck has evolved now that hybrid Entomb/Doomsday shells are gone, what Turbo vs Tempo Doomsday actually looks like in today’s meta, and why some pivots are traps even if top players can win with them.

We cover:
• Why Turbo Doomsday remains the real deck
• Personal Tutor vs Tamiyo — which is correct now?
• Why splashing a 3rd color is almost always a trap
• Why two Thassa’s Oracle is still essential
• Laboratory Maniac vs Jace in the sideboard
• How Doomsday actually lines up into Delver, UB Tempo, Reanimator, Breakfast, and Depths
• Why Cavern of Souls is secretly one of the deck’s most important cards
• How to evaluate “pile structure” and redundancy post-ban
• What (if anything) Doomsday cares about from the new sets (Avatar, Spider-Man, etc.)
• Eric’s honest thoughts on Doomsday’s position for Europe — and why he never feels confident in a deck choice
• The importance of aesthetics, card loans, and Moxfield equity (joking… but also not joking)

This is an extremely deep dive into how the deck works, where it stands now, and how a Doomsday specialist evaluates the format heading into one of the biggest Legacy events of the year.
