Needs : Horrifying Revelation and Tainted Strike

play swamp, cast 2 dark ritual (now have 5 mana)

cast horrifying revelation (discard doomgape) for 1 mana
then corpse dance (for another 3 mana)to return doomgape to play for that turn with haste, then tainted strike

almost as cheesy as darksteel colossus now

wont this pull the top card out of your library out of your graveyard instead of the creature?

recall too that whoever has control of the turn, they choose what order things happen if more than one thing happens

if you chose to draw (and drew tormods crypt, it would not matter what the top card was if you sac the tormods crypt in response to the discard

there are other cards that simply drop 1 card from the hand too (choose and discard) but that was the only one i could think of at 4:45am (was tired)
Cry of Contrition, Thoughtseize, Funeral Charm are just 3 options... there are plenty

Sorry I have to nit pick here for the sake of clarity..

recall too that whoever has control of the turn, they choose what order things happen if more than one thing happens

That is true but everything in this combo is straight forward, there is nothing happening in this combo that causes you to change the order of things.  When you play horrify revolations you discard a card, and then move the top card of your library.  Spells always resolve in the order they are written.

The only time you can change the way things go on the stack is if multiple trigger abilitys go one the stack at the same time.  but even then you can only stack the abilitys you control, otherswise the abilitys are put on the stack in APNAP order (active player non active player, so if it is your turn your opponents abilitys will always resolve first.
