I don't run black. So probably not. Haha. Plus, I find myself operating on 3-4 lands and using the rest as fodder for Assault. Tapping out to cast Beseech doesn't really do much. The deck is good at digging. It's just those games where I'll either get stuck with no dig or all of the Assaults made their way to the bottom of the deck. It doesn't happen often but it does happen.
So its a Loam deck without Raven's Crime? Id like to see the list if you dont mind.
It depends on the archetype of the deck. With RUG I've never had trouble with Tron, UWR control, Jund or any aggro based deck. Burn and Bogel give me the most trouble. As well as Merfolk. Combo is around 50/50 mainboard but gets better post board depending on thegenerally combo. Scapeshift is probably the most rough combo for me personally but I don't have a ton of experience playing against it.
I've never felt like I couldn't win a game but it's not a perfect deck by any means. It just has a solid set of threats and removal as well as a very strong CA engine to grind out games. Most of my losses have come from not finding an Assault in a timely manner, generally speaking.
Grats on your GP results. I had already replaced the flame jabs with darkblasts, but the noxious revivals I feel are worthy of 2-3 spots. I find myself using them on a dead card in an opponents graveyard quite often. This turns them into a pseudo timewalk in certain situations. Plus I think we need something to retrieve Assault from the grave if we dont draw one in the opening hand.
Maybe there are better options, but for now NR is playable for me.
I had all of these cards so I decided to try your list verbatim. Its really quite excellent - this coming from someone that's played MTG since unlimited. This list works out of the box as advertised. Ive had a few irritations with Leyline of the Sanctity but for the most part its solid and feels like just about all matches with the decks I see online winnable.
Do you by chance play online? Id like to compare notes. I need to know what to put in the side vs red burn. Nourish?

I see. Would Beseech the Queen help find an assault?
