I'm currently playing this DDFT list:
4 Doomsday
3 Infernal Tutor
4 Lim-Dul's Vault
4 Brainstorm
2 Ponder
4 Sensei's Divining Top
4 Duress
3 Thoughtseize
1 Meditate
1 Ill-Gotten Gains
1 Tendrils of Agony
4 Dark Ritual
2 Cabal Ritual
4 Lion's Eye Diamond
4 Lotus Petal
4 Polluted Delta
2 Misty Rainforest
1 Verdant Catacombs
3 Underground Sea
2 Island
1 Swamp
SB: 1 Tropical Island
SB: 1 Bayou
SB: 3 Xantid Swarm
SB: 3 Carpet of Flowers
SB: 1 Thoughtseize
SB: 1 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn
SB: 1 Shelldock Isle
SB: 1 Cloud of Faeries
SB: 1 Chain of Vapor
SB: 1 Deathmark
SB: 1 Wipe Away
I'm under the impression that if you need to ask for a UBx list instead of just crafting one that you probably aren't quick enough with the deck to run it in a large tournament like the GP. Instead, I would recommend that you play this TES list:
1 Tendrils of Agony
2 Ad Nauseam
4 Infernal Tutor
4 Burning Wish
4 Brainstorm
4 Ponder
4 Duress
3 Thoughtseize
4 Dark Ritual
4 Rite of Flame
4 Lion's Eye Diamond
4 Lotus Petal
4 Chrome Mox
4 Polluted Delta
2 Scalding Tarn
1 Bloodstained Mire
2 Underground Sea
2 Volcanic Island
1 Badlands
1 Island
1 Swamp
SB: 1 Tendrils of Agony
SB: 1 Empty the Warrens
SB: 1 Diminishing Returns
SB: 1 Ill-Gotten Gains
SB: 1 Thoughtseize
SB: 1 Deathmark
SB: 1 Pulverize
SB: 4 Doomsday
SB: 1 Shelldock Isle
SB: 1 Emrkaul, the Aeons Torn
SB: 2 Chain of Vapor
This is by far the most consistent fast combo deck in the format. DDFT is a mid-range combo at turns 2.5-3.5 whereas this TES list is a half a turn to a turn and a half faster. It's as disruptive playing the currently best protection package of 6+ Duress effects, has an excellent game against counterbalance thanks to Duress effects plus sb Doomsday plan, and can easily mow down things without Force of Will. In testing, New Horizons isn't actually that hard. That deck is trying to be a blue deck with way too many non-blue spells and it shows. Extra lands and extra duresses compared to the standard TES list make the matchup slightly easier.
I'm not entirely sure that I shouldn't be playing this 3c TES list instead of DDFT, which should give you an idea of what that means for someone who isn't able to quickly play spells like LDV and Doomsday. This is easy to play for someone who was familiar with playing ANT and the field should be ripe for it.
Edit: TES list is now 60 cards and has protection spells that I mentioned.
