What kind of interaction could there be by targeting your own permanents? Ground Seal?

Edit: You could Ring away a Presence in anticipation of a sweeper perhaps?
Black is still necessary, in my book. The Abyss is an absoulte house against agro. It's a permenant answer to multiple tarmogoyfs, and other creatures. Like, it'll definetly replace Seal of Doom (and then one - I'm only running one seal main'd), but black is just way too good to cut. You get Leyline! Leyline of the Void! When breakfast is gone, we can cut black. But I already got my German Bayous, so black is here to stay through the breakfast fiasco.

Because, if he actually gets to knock some of the stuff into his yard, when he deeds away the board, he could possibly win. Leyline RFG's everything that he could have for the combo.

Comclusion:
Oblivion Ring - Amazing
Black - here for a while
Seal of doom - got pwnt. 'scept for seal's at instant speed. hmm....
