It's probably worth noting that with Street Wraith you are dangerously low on blue cards. Outside of blue cards (all of which are pitchable, which is why you have two Meditate), you have 8 ways to draw into the Doomsday pile.
For different reasons*, I have considered using Ideas Unbound as a mini-Meditate before. It might be a substitute for SW, upping your blue count while keeping resilience to Chalice.

*You can go off Brainstorm-style with no spare cards for extra U, or you can generate lethal storm from Top+Led.

I played hybrid against combo-nightmare (FOW, CB, Snare, Vendillion, Daze, Pridemages, Goyf and a couple MMs) yesterday to a 6-1 result. In the win, I get FOWed twice after IGG and spin top to luckily find Tendrils FTW.
I punted a game where my pile should have been different in order not to lose to his Pridemaging a LED in response to the second one.
All the other where major beatings, with fast CB plus clocks backed by counters.
The guy is a friend of mine who seems to be a bit too concerned about combo. He may have some problems in brazilian aggro/dredge-infested meta with that list.
