Thoughts

discoverN dropped the topdeck tutors entirely. And is on three maindeck Psychic Frogs. I also got a Top 4 with two Frogs. They didn't feel important during the tournament, but I did crack a pile with a Frog once, and it's a solid card against Lurrus.
Here's the thing – Going all in on the Lurrus plan has its benefits. Lurrus is a damn good card. But Doomsday is not a slow control deck. It's fast combo. Cutting Street Wraith and Necropotence impacts that. Having a creature that can serve as another win condition, cracks piles, and, of course, Pitches to Force® is Good Magic™. The Lurrus lists play good cards, but the important factor is they are not good Doomsay cards.
We're in an interesting phase in Doomsday deck lists. There's going to be a lot of shuffling around of cards in and out of the 75 entirely and between the sideboard and main.
