Glimpse of Nature Reprint

We all know that our favorite green draw spell is banned, but, there is a slightly nerfed option that was reprinted in dragons maze Beck / Call. In some ways, this card has the potential to net you even more cards than glimpse; however, there are a few more hurdles to go through. I made a sample combo deck Four Color Rites that abuses the new glimpse in conjunction with Cryptolith Rite and Jeskai Ascendancy by using a token approach. How would you guys use this slightly watered down glimpse of nature?

I don't normally play simic, but I think I would take it in a similar strategy, maybe going sultai? my plan would be to use some huge token producer like Mycoloth in conjunction with a smaller producer to kick it off. Then, during upkeep, use Beck to net a ton of cards. you could also go with Isochron Scepter to get it every turn. following it up with huge bombs like Endless Ranks of the Dead or Army of the Damned. Empty the Pits is also good, as you are gonna draw a ton, so you either discard or cast a ton of things. you could also maybe run Rise from the Tides as a payoff. if you want to go really deep, use Doubling Season or Parallel Lives to make it absurd. if you do have Cryptolith Rite, it would make it so easy to cast anything. for protection, just run some basic kill spells from black and some counterspells from blue. Propaganda can protect from creatures. you can also run Traverse the Ulvenwald as again, tons of stuff in the yard will make it tutor for basically anything you need.
