Ocelot Pride Midrange goes wide fast with Cat tokens and Voice of Victory, so we need cheap, efficient removal rather than tempo plays like Daze that don't stop a growing board. Swords to Plowshares answers their best individual threats (Ajani, Ocelot Pride itself, Amped Raptor) and Erode cleanly answers Ajani, Nacatl Pariah's planeswalker side or any other key creature or planeswalker, with conceding a land an acceptable price against their proactive plan. Street Wraith comes out since it doesn't block or interact and we'd rather have real answers to their board. Their Orcish Bowmasters punishes our cantrips, so play around it by sequencing draws carefully and closing the game quickly.

Dimir Tempo wants to cantrip into a resilient threat while protecting it with Force of Will and Daze; Orcish Bowmasters punishes their Brainstorm/Ponder/Bauble-heavy cantrip suite while also blocking their small creatures. Force of Negation gives us free interaction on their turn, letting us counter their countermagic or disruption before we take our Doomsday turn without spending mana. Thoughtseize is weaker here since they're proactive with cheap threats rather than reliant on one key card, and our own Daze is less impactful once both sides are racing with tapped-out turns. Keep the full combo core intact since we still want to resolve Doomsday quickly before Wasteland strips our mana.

Sultai Aluren can put Atraxa, Grand Unifier or Omniscience directly into play via Show and Tell, so Force of Negation is our best tool to counter that for free on their turn before they can leverage it. Dauthi Voidwalker applies fast, evasive pressure since their ground creatures can't block it, and it exiles cards that would go to their graveyard, disrupting any graveyard-based value they try to generate. Daze and Thoughtseize are cut since they're too slow or unreliable against a deck that can assemble Aluren or Show and Tell explosively starting turn two or three. Keep the Doomsday combo core fully intact since our own fast clock is competitive if we can dodge their disruption.
