Title: Day of Judgement
Post by: Danielkix on June 01, 2012, 07:46:14 PM
I pulled a day of judgement today and the clerk at the store told me it's not that good a card, I thought it might be useful. I run a GW human deck and my friend says it's helpful but in a control deck. Is it not worth adding to a deck?

I am a fan, but I play multiplayer and you need sweeps. I hear a lot of new players complaining about {Day of Judgment} beacause "why would you kill your own stuff." but the idea is if you are winning the creature race dont cast it you're ahead. So what if it's a "dead card" you're ahead. You hold on to it until you're behind.

DoJ is good because it can give you card advantage, you can take out many cards for one.

I agree. I play a creature heavy EDH deck and if my opponets have crazy creatures on the field and I don't have much. A board wipe is an easy decision.

I've seen {Day of Judgement} win games. One of the drawbacks is {Inkmoth Nexus} and indestructible creatures (from {Avacyn, Angel of Hope})

Thing is, I don't think that DoJ is seeing a lot of top tier play.

Well since I only play EDH, Horde: Apocolypse, any deck with white, I used it. Plus I have the textless foil one, so it looks so good

I agree it's not an incredibly great card, but it's like BJ said if you need it, you play it, if you don't need it, you don't play it, I can't recall one time that I was pissed about drawing one during play.

Same here. For me, I always use a slot for it in my decks. Never been am about drawing it. It's like an ace in the hole. If things get bad wipe the slate clean. It's great when you have no creatures and everybody else has a bunch.

Yeah and remember board wipes are the only things that get passed hexproof! DoJ is the Way 2 Go! :D

Well, maybe I should be more specific: universal effects. But don is a great universal effect!!!
