I posted this deck because I didn't see a lot of innovation involving doomsday.  Therefore, after I finally thought up a doomsday combo I decided to post it so a mod could tell me that everyone had already thought of my idea before and to lock it within five seconds.

The other probable outcome of this deck is that X combo deck is better so why play this.  Even though I know those are two highly probable outcomes as a result of this post, I still decided to post it because someone might be able to point out basic deck construction and sideboard flaws that may not have anything to do with the validity of the deck idea and to spur some discussion about doomsday decks in general.

I have no idea what any of the matchups are.  I'm guessing that the majority of the hands this deck draws are an incohesive pile that is not fixed by multiple mulligans.

The basic idea of this deck is turn one dark ritual, doomsday.  Then turn two tinker darksteel colossus, lightning greaves(if possible), time walk.  A good starting hand may be possible to mulligan into however with each mulligan one becomes more vulnerable to disruptive cards like trinisphere and force of will.

I have not noticed a lot of doomsday deck ideas.  Is the concept of a doomsday deck a flawed one?  Is it the fact that a doomsday deck has to run a major black component which takes away from the ability to run force of will?

Sorry for bumping this, but decking yourself with time walk is some sweet tech.
