Deck discussion for stupid enough to work

There are too many destroy/damage creature spells to play straight up ramp in 2012 RtR standard.

It seems Somberwald is the key to the deck and it's just too fragile.
If you don't have Somberwald then it's going to be slowed down to a turn 5-6 deck with little to nothing for protection. You're going to take a beating before your combo goes off. If you DO have Somberwald it's bound to die first.

Black/Green or Grixis - Abrupt Decay
Blue/White Control - Supreme Verdict/Azorius Charm/Detention Sphere
Izzet - Any burn spell

All of these are common decks for today and you're bound to face them in FNM and they all counter your early combo.

(Late game decks with early protection seems to be the most effective in tournaments nowdays - such as Thragtusk with Angel of Serenity and Supreme Verdict/Jace but obviously everyone isn't rich.... but adding creatures like Thragtusk can help you survive until you unleash your combo)

Thragtusk isnt early game protection for getting to a combo, it gets your board/life back even with a fast opponent, then works with another big creature to finish.
