What have (DC) I done

Some months have passed since I have read about the vintage apocalypse and I wasn't quite sure if any of Smmenen's predictions would come true however, when i had a large group of friends over a couple of nights ago to play some vintage magic the nightmare of what he said became a reality. As I shuffled together a nearly demolished Doomsday deck one of my good friends sat down next to me to show me his newly crafted machine gun, and the first card i saw was a sphere of resistance. No worries i said to myself i can handle his deck with no problems and as i dug through his deck it was just as i suspected a workshop prison deck of some sort. So he sat down in front of me and began shuffling for a match. I had two choices here, attempt to outrun him with a turn 1 doomsday kill (hopefully, i hadn't drawn yet). Or try to stall for a period and win outright. We rolled a die and I lost the die roll ( I rarely win the die roll anyway). So he opted to go first and I drew my seven. My opening hand was shabby to say the least but, rather than take a mulligan I opted to stall. My opening had contained Street Wraith, Mox Jet, Polluted Delta, Gemstone Mine, Doomsday, Merchant Scroll, and a Vampiric Tutor. After seeing this hand I thought to myself let him drop a slew of artifact and I'll scroll for a hurkyl's and win shortly after, but was i wrong. His first turn drop was a Workshop followed by a sphere of resistance. I drew into a Duress and cast it. His hand contained a smokestack, null rod, trinisphere, strip mine and crucible. first of all i feel that my friend had made a huge misplay by dropping a sphere first and not trinisphere but i decided if i don't rob that crucible out from under him he'll win out right with me sitting on no lands. so i took his crucible and passed the turn. he drops his mine and follows with trinisphere and i was locked in. some turns passed and he emptied his hand and i had not nearly enough mana from smokestack trinisphere sphere and null rod out. so i conceded rather than slamming my head into the table until I was unconscious. I looked at the top 3 cards the second from the top was hurkyl's... Now I know a lot of players will be quick to point out that I had kept a semi bad hand and made some misplays (vamp for hurkyll's and pray i can cast it would have been a good choice too) however that was not the point of this the point is that Brainstorm helped keep workshop decks in check as being a faster draw card and had there been 4 in my deck it would have ultimately increased my chances of winning which with brainstorm gone I feel it might not be long before workshop and ritual will be on the cutting board as well. How does everyone else feel about it? I know Personal Tutor should make for the lack but, I don't feel like its nearly as strong.
