I R like it!  I looked up Obliterator Rock after you told me about it.  I like that you are main boarding the sword.  I think I would main board thrun as well and run 3 scooze.  Yea the high CMC can get you some extra pain from Bob....but thrun is handy.  I also think I would not run coursier at all cuz if the {1}{G}{G}.  I would want more {B} lands for obliterator's {B}{B}{B}{B}.....but that's me.  I just see your 2 forest and 4 treetop village as your sole green producers and then you have urborg and 4 swamps as your sole black producers.  I would want more sole black producers over green just to cast the obliterator and your one drop black cards early on.  Drawing all green sucks turn 1 cuz you can't play thoughtseize. 

Maybe I'm wrong.....just my suggestion 😃

Too bad they don't have a {G}\{B} man land.....it would be so nice.

Say it comes in tapped.  Produces {G}\{B} or pay {1}{G}{B} and get a 3/3 trample death touch creature

Wizards why u no make this????

I think they will eventually, I really want the other manlands. Courser has a good body and can smooth out draws with the fetchlands. Thrun is very powerful in the format and I would probably replace an obliterator with him if I expected lots of control/American decks.

As for the mana base, I could replace a forest with an {overgrown tomb} or {twilight mire}. I haven't had too many issues casting obliterator T4 or a T1 thoughtseize. Sometimes the mana is awful but it's a 2 color deck with 7 fetches 😜
