With all the new sets that have recently come out (or are schelduled too). I was thinking of compiling a list of draw engines that might not have found a place in older decks but that might have a chance to shine with the new card pool. At least this my inspire a few people who have never seen them

Excavation + Exploration + Crucible of Worlds ( Rolling Eyes Yes I wish I had them)

Infernal Tribute + Nether Spirit + Skeletal Scrying

Scroll Rack + Mulch + Gaea's Blessing

Scroll Rack + Land Tax + Zuran Orb

Exploration + Horn of Greed

the exploration + excavation + crucible one looks interesting

how does the nether spirit work with skeletal scrying? unless you mean to remove all the other creatures from the graveyard? so that'll net 1 card for 2 mana each turn, right?

tax/rack is pretty old, used in ww, but zorb isn't used together

exploration/horn is the turboland engine, no?

"how does the nether spirit work with skeletal scrying? unless you mean to remove all the other creatures from the graveyard? so that'll net 1 card for 2 mana each turn, right?"

Yeah pretty much. As a draw engine you run into the problem of drawing other nether spirits. So it's really there for skeletal fodder which can increase the amount drawn. It's really made for a creatureless deck.

"tax/rack is pretty old, used in ww, but zorb isn't used together"

Some do so it deserves honerable mention.

"exploration/horn is the turboland engine, no?"

yup

Technically the real drawn engine for Turbo Nevyn is actually Fastbond + Horn of Greeds, with Trade routes to make it infinite

And you forget the 1 card draw engine: Grafted Skulllcap / Mind's Eye

Intuition + Accumulated Knowledge (and Deep Analysis)
Standstill  Neutral
Oversold Cemetery + Cycling creatures (heh)
Ophidian/Finkel
Geth's Grimoire + Necrogen Mists (mmm, maybe Type 2?)
Library of Alexandria
Jayemdae Tome (old school)
Bazaar of Baghdad + Squee
Arcanis, the Omnipotent

Some of those are commonly used and other's are pure jank.
