I like timetwister with fastbond in play, or after a Time Walk.   TTS is a controlling deck first, similar to GAT.  It's first play is to dismember your opponent's hand, and set up your own.  It's called Sculpting.

I hated doomsday.  IT takes wayyyyyyyy too much set up.  A lot of times, I'd need to ditch my only draw spell to force of will, in order to protect my Doomsday.  That gives my opponent a FULL TURN to draw/tutor up outs.

These are my sentiments as well, regarding Doomsday.  The only time I liked having it in my hand was on the first turn with a two Dark Rituals and a Force and a blue card and another land and the opponent would have already done 2 damage to himself.  Yeah, a bit out of reach.  Like I said earlier, the card is "all in".  Anything can happen that can make you lose the game.

Doomsday's really not good unless you build your deck around it. Like you said, if your plan from the beginning of the game isn't to DDay for the win, it's probably not going to work out that you'll be able to successfully cast/protect it off the fly without passing the turn, which is obviously terrible.
