THE OLD MAN...

I've been playing this strategy for many years, integrating new advancements as they come. Karmic Guide with Reveillark, Saffi Eriksdotter and Sun Titan --many cards fold into the recursion combos, but the ideal situation is to complete the loop with a Goblin Bombardment. Survival of the Fittest and Sneak Attack have been key aspects since the beginning, and I've added Fauna Shaman and Feldon to round out those aspects, facilitating the combo strategy. Since the deck also focuses largely on mana ramp, and in order to strengthen the choice of Sneak Attack and Feldon, I included additional fatties such as Worldspine Wurm, Craterhoof Behemoth, Woodfall Primus, Hornet Queen, etc., to allow for either an explosive win from Sneak Attack/Elvish Piper, or a sort of 'plan B' in case I need to hard cast and grind it out for a few turns swinging with a some fatties to finish the game.

I'll add further details on the combos later for anyone unfamiliar with the interactions.

===========================

CARDS FOR CONSIDERATION:

===========================

(Oracle of Mul Daya & Azusa, Lost but Seeking) + (Crucible of Worlds)+(Misty Rainforest):

Misty would bring the fetch count up to eight, and Crucible could back up the Excavator. I think the additional land drop strategy from Azusa & Oracle would be stronger in the long run than Three Visits, Harrow, and Skyshroud Claim. So, that's a 3-for-3 swap if I make that change.

Scourge of Skola Vale--it'd be nice to have another sac outlet on a creature, and unlike Mirror Entity, I can make strategic choices of individual targets. And even though he requires a tap to activate, he has lines to Samut, Reveillark and Sun Titan(at 3cmc, how could I not love a dude that allows me to sac Hazezon and then gets 4 +1/+1 counters?)

Aggravated Assault--combo for infinite mana with Cryptolith Rite and six creatures. Plus, obviously, extra combat steps for the token army.

Aid from the Cowl--So many permanents in the deck, and I am likely able to hit the Revolt trigger almost every turn.

Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker

Flameshadow Conjuring: cast Hazezon, pay R, make Hazezon token, Legendary rule, choose to sacrifice the nontoken Hazezon, token exiles EoT and next turn you get two Hazezon token triggers. Beautiful. Works well with other EtB/LtB ability creatures. Natural Order for Craterhoof, pay R and copy him. Seems good.

Titania, Protector of Argoth

Trostani, Selesnya's Voice

Renegade Rallier this guy is a combo piece, or he just lets you go turn three fetch, cast him, get your fetch back to play. Lots of other neat tricks. Seems like too much value to ignore.
