It depends on what your goals and your expectations are. If you're planning on eventually getting duals and you're doing this to be more familiar with the deck, I'd say to go for it. If you feel like duals are basically unobtainable, I'd say that this is fine if you're okay with dropping some games to your self-incurred life loss. I would definitely be against taking this deck to a highly competitive event without duals, but if you're just playing at your local store, that's probably fine.
The issue here is that your lands are suboptimal because your life total matters. One one hand, there are a lot of piles that ask you to have extra life to play around with (piles with Gitaxian Probe, pass the turn piles, double Doomsday, etc); on the other hand, Doomsday can win from any life total higher than 1, and most of the time I'd say that you win games with any one of a few default piles that don't ask you for extra life (or if they do, you can actually use extra mana to cast Probe). It all boils down to if you can handle losing sometimes to your lands not being duals. Also, since you're just picking up this version of Doomsday and I'm assuming that you intend to get duals sometime in the future, when you practice I would suggest also considering how your choices and potential options would be different when you have duals. If you've been playing Doomsday before, I'm sure you know that feeling when you realize that you have been dropping games to just never noticing that you could make some weird pile, and I don't want you to miss piles just because you've never had enough life to execute them when you were practicing.
You should reference Stormboards for DDFT advice. That's their most active section, and all of the proficient DDFT players frequent it. They've got DD piles and card discussions, etc.
I'm actually working on a primer currently. I have it broken up into 9 sections, so it'll end up looking like this.
1) Introduction/ What is DDFT
2) History
3) Deck Lists
4) Card Choices
5) How it Works
6) How to play DDFT
7) Basic Piles
8) Matchups
9) References(Articles, Forums, Videos)
I'm like halfway done. I sent Popplseseed a msg about starting a new thread but he hasn't been on in months. So i guess we'll see what happens.
Good point, i had all the weird, pass the turn, double dd, timespiral, etc at the end of the Basic Piles part, but i'll separate it and make an Advanced Piles section too. That's a good idea. I also have links to some Stormboard pages, and some other doc links

Not just the Tendo King, the power of the Galactic Leyline surpasses that of the Tempa Emperor, No!, It's magnificent power is even greater than that!
Ok so i got permission to start a new thread once the primer is done, and i'm actually almost done. It's coming along pretty well but i am having difficulties with 1 section in particular. The sideboarding/ match-ups.. There are just so many Legacy decks that are viable, and played, it's tough to decide how to organize a sideboard guide without writing up 15+ paragraphs on each different Delver variant. I could really use some help here. If someone would wanna take over that section for me? or even just help me figure out how to sequence it.
*Edit* I think i have this pretty much figured out now actually.
Just got to say, you've definitely earned distinction as an MTGS hero
Quote from Stardust »
Because he's the hero MTGS deserves, and the one it needs right now. So we'll global him. Because he can take it. Because he's not just our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. An expired rascal.

ExpiredRascals you sir are a god-like hero.
