Again I got flack for suggesting Scouting Trek + Clear the Land as a Draw/Mana engine but here's a deck it works in.
Turboland
//Lands: 18
5 Island
5 Forest
4 Tropical Island
2 Windswept Heath
2 Flooded Strand
//Creatures:8
4 Terravore
3 Coiling Oracle
1 Simic Sky Swallower
//Other Spells: 34
4 Brainstorm
4 Life From the Loam
3 Zuran Orb
2 Scroll Rack
2 Scouting Trek
2 Clear the Land
4 Mystical Tutor
2 Ponder
4 FoW
3 Exploration
4 Daze
//Sideboard:
3 Simic Sky Swallower
1 Zuran Orb
1 Exploration
4 Tarmogoyf
2 Sensei's Divining Top
4 Krosan Grip
Basically you use Scouting Trek to load 6 lands on top of your library and then next turn play Clear the Land which boosts your mana thins your deck and mills your opponent. You can use this extra land to feed your Terravores via Zuran Orb or play the lone Simic Sky Swallower or do both on the next turn.
Crucible insures that after feeding your goyfs you can still cast spells and then feed the goyfs again. Coiling Oracle works as a deck thinner and sometimes mana accelerator too and works well if clear the land gets countered. Ponder and Scroll Rack are also great helps if Clear the Land gets countered so you don't have 5 lands stacked on top of your library.
The sideboard adds more beats, Krosan Grip, an additional Zuran Orb and Exploration if needed and Divining Tops for extra deck manipulation.
