The Rock in T1, Can it be done?

I've been thinking about a reincarnation of "The Rock" in T1. So far the idea has been boggling my mind ever since I saw a lot of the spoiler for Kamigawa.

The main cards that could bring this deck to the tier 1 or tier 2 spot would be cranial extraction. I think that CE can be abused quite easily, and with all the control and workshop decks running around it could be a viable deck. In addition to those archtypes, it seems like Oath is going to be good again, which would be another reason why the deck would work.

Some card choices to think about for this archetype
dark ritual
pernicious deed
cranial extraction
spirtmonger
duress
regrowth
kokusho the evening star
post any other ideas that might help with creating a decklist.

The deck could be viable or it might not be but it definatley needs work and I need some help from experts with this deck and possibly making it a viable deck for T1.

Please post your thoughts and suggestions, because I really could use them.
