Vintage Doomsday Deck List Analysis for 2023.08.06
Should Tinker Doomsday not be included as it is basically another deck? Or is it part of the spice, like Lurrus Orc Doomsday?

Thoughts
Tinker Doomsday is, well, one person, and fundamentally different. It's a Tinker deck playing Doomsday as its win condition. Is it a Doomsday deck? Yes. But.
While most of the decks this week are fairly similar, SingPanMan comes in hot with four copies of Orcish Bowmasters and Lurrus of the Dream-Den in the side. I tried a similar version, and while it can do some cool things, I find it's best matchup is the mirror. A Bowmaster at the right time hurts a lot. Unlike regular Doomsday, it has the ability to come back after a counter-war with Lurrus, but, not unlike Tinker Doomsday, it trades a lot for an alternate plan.
CrazyDiamond513 tried out Ravenous Trap over Surgical Extraction for the challenge. While not needing life is great, it does have some weaknesses, like Wallas never hitting the graveyard. While CounterVine exists as is, I would not be going that route. But it's not like I love Leyline of the Void in that match, either. Tinker Doomsday being able to grab Sphinx of the Steel Wind is pretty great, as that is almost always a guaranteed win against Bazaar decks.
Snuff Out numbers are slowly increasing. Everyone played at least one.
