Thoughts
Three Street Wraiths in one list and three copies of Leyline of the Void amongst all five lists. It's a wild time. Even if Bazaar decks make a big comeback, there may be something to learn from these times.
Dauthi Voidwalker maybe? I like Maxtortion's list which is clearly trying to do things and see what sticks. I'm not sure pivoting to the beatdown plan is where Doomsday wants to be – and I might be wrong in even suggesting that's the idea. We live in a time where the most powerful cards in Magic are creatures. This is not what a lot of us older folk are used to, and this stubbornness can lead to game losses and match losses.
