I pulled a Paradox Engine and wanted to put it to use.

The goal here is to get a strong enough mana base by turn 3 or 4 using dorks and Utopia Sprawl to cast the engine turn 4 or 5 and then cast one of the two buyback spells over and over again to start an infinite loop. If there is a Walking Ballista in hand, ramp to 40 mana and drop the 20/20 kill spell. If you have even one Codex Shredder on the field, then just run the engine over and over again until you mill youre opponent out. If you lack both of those, then either Sprout Swarm an infinite army of tokens or Mystic Speculation into an answer.

I really cannot tell if the deck is shit and I am blind to it, or if it works really well and I am just too skeptical. It seems to work in concept, but I want to get feedback on it before I go buying pieces I may not want later down the road. Opinions, suggestions, and feedback is appreciated, and if you actually end up using it please, lemme know how it went. I'd love to hear of its successes and failures in other play circles.
