Since the actual "combo" package is relatively small, you can surround it with a shell full of otherwise good cards, allowing you to go toe-to-toe in a "fair" fight until the time comes for you to have a very unfair turn. While Doomsday was simply good instead of busted, the decks played out the same way. Things are always in the last place you look, and there it was: the deck that felt like Underworld Breach. At this point, I may as well try to learn Doomsday." After an hour-long match (that I lost), I dropped the league at 0-1, closed Magic Online, and took another break. I slowly waded back in with an Esper Vial league, and immediately ran into Snowko.

Frustrated, I actually stopped playing any Legacy at all for six weeks during the summer. While trying (seemingly) every deck under the sun, I actually had not tried Doomsday and had mentally written it off as too scary and foreign to dip my toes into. When it was unceremoniously banned out from under me (rightfully so), it felt not unlike a time from my childhood when I was watching a movie on cable TV that had gone over its scheduled time allotment, and right at the good part it suddenly cut to a live sports game or something.įor a few months, I was looking for a deck that would scratch the itch. For as broken as it was, the Underworld Breach deck was some of the most fun I've had playing Magic.
