The owner of this deck hasn't added a sideboard, they probably should...

This deck is built around a lockout combo with your opponents and Manabarbs. Get Platinum Emperion out, so that your life total can’t change, then play Manabarbs, then play more Manabarbs if you have more, then play anything that will double the damage it deals to players, all while you sit back and relax. If worse comes to worst, just swing a few times with Platinum, and you’ll be all set. Ah, good times.

What's the plan for surviving 8 or more turns...?

Could use some acceleration and board clearing, that's for sure.
Such as what? I’m open to any suggestions.
Madcap Experiment, 4 mana Platinum EmperionThe concept seems super cool, although extremely clunky. I'd look into ways to get a more efficient combo online asap. Faithless Looting is a start.
I would ditch every damage amplification you have. It's a lockdown deck, you can have the luxury of winning 1 damage at a time.You have limited options: either creatures with Defender, or mass board clearing such as Earthquake, Magmaquake, Flamebreak, Pyrokinesis. No ideas on acceleration besides cards like Pyretic Ritual, but I don't really like those.
Any artifact rock for acceleration, ideally also a way to get the Platinum Emperion back once they kill him, Trash to Treasure
Also, Gratuitous Violence is terrible here and Ring of Three Wishes is terrible always
So what should I replace all of this with?
Now that's a good question. Things I would consider are Mana Vault, Sol Ring, Coalition Relic, Felwar Stone, and other similar accelerators. Board clearing spells as mentioned by Razka are definitely a good plan, you won't have much defense until you get the barbs rolling, I'd add Pyroclasm to his list in case you run up against a weenie hoard. Aether Flash may add a different sort of defense, but can be a two edge sword.
Nice changes, I like it.Good job everyone, time for cookies.
Oh I almost forgot 2 things:- You may want to include an elixir of immortality in case the game stalls and you run out of cards before the opponent. It's not really necessary since you could always attack if in a tight spot, but you never know.- Aren't Wild Research activated abilities white and blue? You're gonna need multicolor lands.
I love Mana Vault. I dunno, just something about it seems really cool.
