if you were running more basic lands I would suggest Boundless Growth  in m13, but that doesn't help you much with all the dual lands. You could also throw in a copy or 2 of Temporal Mastery  , since this deck seems to want extra turns, either to play lands or to untap door and win.
Hmmm, boundless growth is nice, but my ramp engine will be rather consistent with trading post plus + mycosynth wellspring or solemn simulacrum. Also, I feel that I lack the green permanents for boundless growth to be fully utilized. Temporal Mastery is nice, but it's a bit pricey and I am on a budget.
You don't need green permanents for Boundless Realms. It costs 7CMC (6G), to look for x basic lands, equal to number of lands you control, and put them into play tapped)....**sorry I had written the wrong name earlier, my bad.

That is an excellent ramping effect, but I feel my deck has enough high-drop cards that adding in a 7cmc card would gimp it at this point. I appreciate all of this feedback, though.

I get what people are trying to say, since there are decks that will win by turn 4 on average, and you're looking to get to 10 mana, plus drop an artifact (for which there is plenty of removal) that EtBT... your odds are not great, but if your set on building the deck: my only advice is run it like a cheesy "wolf run ramp" deck. Again, if you were running that build, everyone would just tell you to "run WRR," but it is probably the fastest the deck will run. This may mean the deck is only good until RtR comes out, since Prime Time  is rotating, as is viridian emissary  and I believe solemn simulacrum  is too... Basically, I would switch to basic lands, lots of dorks, and ramp out the @$$... I have no idea how that would do, but it could be a start...

I've got a reasonably effective "Door To Nothingness" deck. It's not competition-worthy, but sample draws consistently win on turn 5 (unopposed), and that has been my experience too. It is a Standard format primarily Green Ramp deck. I think there is a LOT of opportunity for improvement, but it's a real deck and I only have so many cards and so much money.  It is most vulnerable to artifact-removal, agressive-burn or token, and fliers. I call it the "Goofy" deck: 10x Forest 3x Swamp 2x Plains 2x Island 2x Mountain 2x Relequary Tower (placeholder for when I find 2 more Gilded Lotus's) --- Win Condition --- 1x Nicol Bolas 4x Door To Nothingness --- Pente-color mana --- 4x Boundless Realms 4x Farseek 2x Gem of Becoming 2x Gilded Lotus 2x Abundant Growth --- Quick Ramp --- 2x Avacyn's Pilgrim 2x Arbor Elf 2x Dawntreader Elk --- Card Pull --- 1x Diabolic Revelation 2x Increasing Ambition --- Defense --- 1x Tree of Redemption 2x Stuffy Doll 3x Creepy Doll 2x Cobbled Wings 1x Favor of the woods 3x Vanguard's Shield I'm interested to hear what others think about this. Thanks!
