Help With a Crazy Deck Built Around a Near-Totally Useless Card

Deck Help forum

I've been working on a deck lately that features Barren Glory. The trick is to trim the library down to Hellcarver Demon, Barren Glory, and Wrath of God with the use of Doomsday, then play the demon and have it attack next turn.

After the demon attacks, the top three or four cards are exiled. Wrath of God is first to be played, then Barren Glory. Next turn, I win.

The deck wins between turns four and eight when it does win; when it doesn't, it's usually because of the halved life involved with Doomsday, and I'm trying to find a means of alleviating some of this concern.

I added in two copies of Angel's Grace, and I think that that helps somewhat, but I'm wondering what else I can do.

I'm also trying to get rid of Demonic Consultation as well as make the size sixty cards in order to make my deck legacy legal, but in either case I'm not sure if I'll be able to get the cards I want when I want them.

Any suggestions for cards to add or remove?

One with Nothing.

You probably also want some other creatures, so that you can actually survive long enough.

Also, Armageddon Between that and WoG, you can win even if you don't get your demon.

Speaking of creatures, what are some good, inexpensive one-drops that can stall the board?

not 1 drop but Tarmogoyf is always strong you would need to branch into green but landbases in legacy are perfect so that won't be an issue. WoG is always good for early creatures.
