Day of Judgment... Why? I'd think that having some way of getting around an OPPOSING DoJ would take priority over running it yourself, like Sun Titan or Mimic Vat for example... Just IMO, of course.

I'd say Culling the Weak and Thrumming Stone could help out. Ripplerats is a fun archetype to follow; google it.
5cmc for low damage seems a bit steep for me... I feel like I'd add Spiteful Visions before Psychosis Crawler, and even that's low on the likely list of additions.
I'd make the suggestion of running cards like Terror or Doom Blade over Disfigure and Grasp, since they mandate "Non-Black" creature. Particularly due to the Donate plan; if you must give them SOMETHING, it's probably better to not give them an out to your attacks. Just IMO, obviously.
Vines of the Vastwood might be a good replacement for Giant Growth; shroud would be awesome for your beefy beaters.
Uhh... Very... Bland... Maybe google Ripplerats, and see if you can get some ideas?
I think the question you saw was based on one I posted on the WoTC forums a year or two ago. xD
Looks like my deck... A LOT like my deck. O.o http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=31014
If you had a way to return the artifacts back to your hand or deck so you can use the Smiths more often, I think it might work a little stronger... As it is, I'm kind of "meh" on it.
I'd agree with Greg; nix the Unholy Strength and Tainted Strike (everything already has infect anyway, sooo...) In their place, cap the Livewire Lashes and increase the number of Prey's Vengeance and Virulent Swipe; it's two spells to trigger Livewire Lash for the price of one! Seems like a fun deck, hope you have good luck with it!
Nonono, Sundering Titan's ability triggers when it enters AND when it leaves the battlefield. Transmute is funnier with it, since you'd trigger both. :P
If I played with 4x Tinker, my playgroup would kill me... Of course, I'd probably play with Sundering Titan and Transmute Artifact, too...
I laughed. But seriously... For playing outside of EDH, probably double (or triple, or quadruple) -up on some of the stronger cards. Or play EDH, where you can't have any multiples of anything other than a basic land.
There's a good reason Windfall is banned in Legacy and restricted in Vintage. -1 (anything), +1 Windfall. If you're not going to follow the b/r list, might as well do it in style.
Brainstorm, Lat-Nam's Legacy, and See Beyond could be used to shuffle would-be-useless enchantments stuck in your hand back into your library before you cast Enduring Ideal. Just an idea, though.
For Sideboard, I'd recommend Cabal Therapy at the least; it doubles as discard, and sac for the Persecutor. Contamination maybe, Engineered Plague maybe, Duress/Thoughtseize/Inquisition of Kozilek are all good. Any other suggestions I could make are almost entirely dependent on your playgroup. :)
I feel like the deck's cool, but too reliant on the Liquimetal Coating; it might be a good idea to include some way to protect it, or to take it back from the graveyard. Nature's Spiral jumps to mind immediately, but that's about it. Just IMO, of course.
Hate to pick knits, but the only creature in your deck that would help the Ooze is Bloodthrone Vampire... It's the only creature with an activated ability (reads as "cost : effect" ). Might consider cutting back on the Skeletons and throwing in Bloodghasts in their place, and swapping out some swamps with fetch lands to help him/it out. Oh, and something else that can help the Ooze. As it is, the only thing that really helps it is your opponents creatures in graveyards. Nantuko Shade, Molten-Tail Masticore, Steel Hellkite, and Vector Asp all jump to mind as possibilities, but only the Shade and Masticore seem like they would fit your deck (IMO).
"Army of Leylines" is the archetype's name, I believe. Common inclusions are Mobilization, Sacred Mesa, Moat, and the (older) Enlightened Tutor. I'd suggest ditching the Singularity if you run with Mobilization or Sacred Mesa. Maybe ditch it anyway... I've seen a legacy legal version of the deck run, and it's pretty entertaining. He had Serum Powder to better the chances of a stable opening hand, but I'm not quite convinced on it.
The Battalion is 1.X legal, not Standard. There isn't really any Standard legal variant of it, unfortunately. Might consider a singleton of Nissa... Personally, I'd consider Canopy Cover and Vines of Vastwood as possible additions. Just my opinion though, of course.
