Doom
Debuff
At the end of the enemy turn, if it has at least as much Doom as HP, it dies.
The Necrobinder's kill counter. It never lowers HP on its own. Just before the end of the owner's turn, if its current HP is less than or equal to its Doom, it dies. Every doomed creature on that side is killed in one batch, triggered by the first of them, so revive effects see all of them at once. Doom never decays and stacks without limit.

Effects around Doom
The number is drawn in the normal cream color rather than debuff red.
Neurosurge puts 3 Doom on you each turn, and the same rule kills you at the end of your turn.- End of Days kills doomed enemies immediately, Time's Up deals damage equal to Doom, Undying Sigil makes doomed enemies deal half damage, and Book Repair Knife heals 3 when a non-minion dies to it.
Potion of Doom applies 33.
Rules and timing
Its number is drawn in the normal cream colour, not the red of other debuffs.
