Updated Assault Loam deck using newly printed cards. Aside from the obvious (cycle lands) the big pick up, in my opinion, is Hollow One. This deck discards a ton, routinely making the card free. Chandra, Torch of Defiance is a perfect walker for this deck, helping cast Seismic Assault, especially on turn five; while also providing additional removal and burn. Hostile Desert not only looks sweet, but is a great manland for a deck woth so many lands on the graveyard; the downside of only giving colorless isn't the worst.

The sideboard is fairly straight forward. Treasure Hunt makes the deck resilient against graveyard hate, which is everywhere. Splendid Reclamation + Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle with the deck's Mountain count is a way to deal with Pithing Needle and Surgical Extraction to an extent, mostly just by changing the dynamic of the deck. Also, Valakut is basically my favorite card so it's in.

Any C&C would be great!
