How viable is this extended idea?

[Mikeymike]

Uses the old Aluren/Furious Assault/Gating engine for infinite damage, tries to act like a utility deck until that time. But basically it wants to get the combo as fast as possible.

Creatures 20
4 BoP
4 Wall of Blossoms
4 Multani's Acolyte
3 Fleetfoot Panther
3 Horned Kavu
2 Gaea's Herald

Spells 17
4 Aluren
4 Furious Assault
4 Living Wish
3 Sterling Grove
2 Eladamri's Call

Lands 23
3 Wasteland
3 Rith's Grove
2 Gaea's Cradle
4 Karp. Forest
3 Brushland
4 Forest
3 Mountain
1 Plains

Sideboard (very tentative)
1 Horned Kavu
1 Fleetfoot Panther
1 Monk Idealist
2 Uktabi Orangutan
2 Monk Realist
2 Gaea's Herald
3 Spellbane Centaur
3 Defense Grid

So
How do I get my combo pieces faster. Should this turn into yet another Oath deck? I don't think so, but maybe I'm missing something.

I guess the most important thing is to protect my combo pieces.

Ideally, this can win on turn 3 with a BoP, both enchantments, and a gater.

Thoughts?

I don't really see what about this deck is utility, other than the Wish...

Is this post rotation? I was just about to say City of Solitude .
Seriously though, it would be ideal if you could limit all actions to your turn -- I doubt your play would truly suffer from it.
It seems like you really have no choice but to use Sterling Grove... otherwise I would have suggested that you drop white.

Ghitu Slinger can act as half an FTK but can still kill an FTK for free.

Spellbane Centaur maybe?

I dont see how it wins turn three...

Play a forest.
Pay for bop
Play a plains or mountain.
play aluren.
play for the furry assault
play gater.
bounce bop.
play bop.
thats it?

 

[Thallid Ice Cream Man]

More like this:

1) forest, BoP go
2) land, Furious assault go
3) land, Aluren
gater, bounce gater, 1 damage
gater, bounce gater, 1 damage
gater, bounce gater, 1 damage
etc.

Gaters can typically bounce themselves.

Aluren costs 4 mana anyway.

Its not really utility, I wrote the deck off from an idea off the top of my head and that sentence came out before I actually saw the final decklist.

Someone recommended to me that I use the Molten Harpy/Raven Familiar engine. Its a great idea b/c with an Aluren out I can completely rip through the deck (assuming I've got enough life) to search for a furious assault but it forces the deck to go 4, maybe 5 colors - but I can most likely drop the white since the Familiar is so good at searching.

I hope you mean Cavern Harpy the gater that can independently bounce itself, not Molten Harpy the Mercenary with an upkeep cost.

 

[Mikeymike]

Yup, that's what I meant (Cavern Harpy).

 

[Thallid Ice Cream Man]

I like Spike Feeder a lot in these decks, you might want to use it - if you have enough mana and if you can bounce it, it can make your own creatures as big as you want, and/or give you as much life as you want, and can offset the effects of the Harpy
