Creatures your opponents control get -1/-1 until end of turn. Remove Festering March from the game with three time counters on it.

Suspend 3-(2)(Black) (Rather than play this card from your hand, you may pay (2)(Black) and remove it from the game with three time counters on it. At the beginning of your upkeep, remove a time counter. When the last is removed, play it without paying its mana cost.)

Pestilence or Lightmine Field to kill 1/1's. Festering March

Kormus Bell if you have Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth out. Or Jolrael, Empress of Beasts

White has a bajillion enchantments to give all your creatures +1/+1, Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite with Humility is terrifying

In Garruk's Wake to brute force it

Festering March could find a place here, maybe replacing a couple of Curator's Wards?

The real problem, like Flooremoji pointed out, is that you cannot force them to tap their land unless you add more cards. To stall your game plan, they just need to not tap the land enchanted with Spreading Algae. Once you start losing more card slots just to make it work then it starts looking like a bad combo.

Instead, try something like Kormus Bell + Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Cower in Fear. You can replace Cower in Fear with a lot of other cards like Doomwake Giant, Ethereal Absolution, Festering March, Profit / Loss, Make Obsolete, Plague Mare, Zealous Persecution and even Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite.

Though, I am guessing, a deck built like this wouldn't be popular with the people you play with.

(This would be Neheb, but the plotline sort or requires that it can't be, so it's another minotaur from the same tribe.
I've also considered redoing it as Angrath's mentor from his so-far-unnamed plane)

If you have one or fewer cards in your hard, Benroch, Chosen Moment gets +2/+2 for each instead. : Exile a red or black card from your hand or graveyard with X-1 time counters on it where X is its converted mana cost. It gains suspend.

Spark: Having trouble clarifying this in my mind, but his main thing is a sort of temporal manipulation that manifested originally as superior reaction times, but became the ability to jump back and forth over short swaths of time and eventually between planes

Deck Concept: Using suspend to enable hellbent and "one or fewer card in hand" effects as well as being fairly minotaur tribal

Sample cards: Burning-Fist Minotaur, Neheb, the Worthy, Ragemonger, Flurry of Horns, Kragma Warcaller, Rift Elemental, Lavacore Elemental, Rift Bolt, Shivan Sand-Mage, Waning Wurm, Festering March, Curse of the Cabal, Time Bomb

Fist off Phyrexian Crusader cant be pathed cant be bolted, first strike, why not. Glistening Oil can help with your curve.Plague Myr can help with mana a little, heck Plague Stinger can even get the poison rolling if you want to proliferate. Viridian Corrupter can help with pesky artifacts and still has infect. Suspend Festering March perhaps? If you were to add some more infect creatures lord them with Hand of the Praetors. Low mana curve wither Juvenile Gloomwidow.

Pyronixcore:
The sideboard at this point is kind of a null-factor - mostly for cards that I can't decide on. The exceptions are; Bloodbond Vampire for the large-creature trope; Festering March for creature control (the self-recurring -1/-1 to opposing creatures is golden); Gift of Estates for land gain if I find that things aren't running quite well enough; Vampire Hexmage for Planeswalker or +1/+1 counter control; and finally, Teysa, Envoy of Ghosts is strong deterrent from attacks. The others are nice, but I'm really not sure if they're what I need.
As for how I'd switch them in, I'm not entirely sure - it'd be a case by case basis, depending on what the situation calls for (and how lazy I am at the time). I'm still trying to figure out how to fit the other cards I'm searching for first, haha.

Suspend is the best! I run a grixis build with cards like Nihilith, Lost Hours, Festering March, Phthisis, and Mindstab. Really neat deck, +1

Yeah, the bridge is a little out of reach at the moment, I may get it with the store credit if I win.

I was actually considering Ghirapur AEther Grid just now and I'm happy to see I wasn't way off base. I was also considering Festering March, the group I'm heading to had a good deal of tokens to deal with and match ran pretty well against that before. Your thoughts?
