Yeah they're not viable anymore but they have replacements in the forms of Artifact Lancea, Droll and Lock bird, and many bosses from the extra deck. The first two are considered "hand traps" which you activate from hand and apply for the turn as a lingering effect. If you're looking for some generic effect negates in place of DoomCal then look into imperm and effect veiler.
As a bit of a culture update, the term anti-meta is basically dead because anti-meta is just part of the meta now in deck building. Turns out the generic anti-meta cards are playable by the meta decks and that you don't have to play a dogshit core and instead you can play a good core.
Socially everyone realized it was a big cope from the "hurrr Im not one of those meta sheep" types of people and it's a bunch of people huffing their own farts playing stun piles thinking themselves to be so cool for being contrarian.
