Hey Everyone!
Brand new user here, brand new player (been toying with MTG Arena to figure out builds I want to invest in).
I've been playing around with Omniscience . I've seen the build that combos it with Overflowing Insight to make the opponent deck out, but that just doesn't seem fun to play with or against. Instead, I've been trying to play as many big creatures as possible and win the same turn in comes out.
Here's where I'm struggling: Omniscience is a big card, so I know the deck needs to ramp quickly. I also know I need to have a constant inflow of cards into my hand. Also fine. The problem is that, when I put together the ramp cards and the drawing engines, there isn't really any room in the deck for anything else. I can fit a few big hitters, and not much to protect me until turn 5+ when I can get all of this out. Here's what I'm running right now on Arena:
CREATURE
ENCHANTMENT
2x New Horizons
1x Omniscience
SORCERY
2x Divination
2x Sleep
INSTANT
ARTIFACT
2x Mana Geode
PLANESWALKER
LAND
8x Island
8x Forest
The idea is to ramp, draw cards, get Samut, Tyrant Smasher out so all my big hitters have Haste and take the game the turn they come on. I know I'm doing something inefficiently, I just don't know what. Any help would be really appreciated here.
Thanks!
You only need to wait for Core 2020 when you will have Flood of Tears . Combined with stuff like planeswalkers and Gift of Paradise , getting to 6 permanents shouldn't be hard.

Thanks for the input! Sorry, I didn't spot the deck builder, I'll move this over to it.

This website has a deck builder feature (though the copy paste format isn't base compatible with arena) it greatly makes getting advice easier.
Just by looking at the deck I can tell you're hurting for wild cards, now to roughly improve this deck: get to 25 lands, you're a ramp deck so the goal is to ramp faster than your opponent not race ahead of them only to be at the same stop sign.
be at the full playset of Llanowar Elves , Paradise Druid likely is your next best ramp spell with Growth Spiral after that, only think of other ramp spells after those are full ( Incubation Druid is also a good choice, just eats shock way more often and you want rare duals and other rares before this one).
Nissa, Who Shakes the World is the full package, ramp on insane levels, 3/3 vigilance bodies can hold off many creatures in the format while also threatening a quick clock, and the ult is really good. there's a reason most ramp decks in the format now run a playset of her.
