I played a couple games with your deck and I have a few main deck suggestions.
1. Demonic Collusion is unreliable with 2 B in its cost with only 2 lands in the entire deck that can make black and those lands are ones greenseeker cant find.
2. This deck needs a faster way to dig to the combo, like search for tomorrow or Mnovuli acid Moss or some other form of acceleration.
3. There needs to be some other form of offense in the deck like some big creature or some creature that has attack.

Basically this deck is losing to anything that sticks a creature early.

this is what ive been tinkering around with
you really need tef to lock down the opponent or else to open up the floodgates.
vs agro you can go infinite life with the plumes or the searchable esence warden and as always theres plenty of draw in there.

this is too funny. as i went through possible cards for the deck and saw demonic collusion, i thought wow this is overpowered why noone playing it? now i realized it reads buyback on the card not flashback^^. same goes for walk of the aeon. i feel a bit ashame now. beside that: toguppy n brainjohn u two r totaly right about whats needed and ill use something close to gubbys deck now. ill post it , if i found something notable. thx guys
