Pretty much yeah. Getting Bog is not value enough. The real value in crop rotation is getting a cradle, tabby, or coffers combo

Has Spellseeker or Sentinel Tower been discussed for this deck or other variations HEMAN yet?

In the current iteration you don't run any graveyard based cards, if I didn't miss anything. If so, why do you choose to not play rest in peace? It seems like the stronges option for grave hate, stronger than grafdiggers cage for example. I see that the silent gravestone is a outlet for the scepter combo, but the swap of cage for RiP seems like an upgrade. Am i missing something? On another note, i love playing your deck, good work!

oliveoilonyaasscureshemorrhoid We did briefly discuss Spellseeker. Given that black offers 3 great tutors and the archetype doesn't need to string certain cards together quickly, we don't need it as another tutor. We don't have any decent combo lines like FlashHulk has with it either. I suppose you could bounce it and replay, but that is mana intensive.
Tower wasn't seriously considered. We want to leave our interaction as instant speed unless we are winning. Also, we have plenty of multi-purpose outlets. Blind Obedience is a great stax piece and the choice outlet. We rarely have to use anything else.
jackeraya RiP is actually a fine choice. Even though it stops Noxious loops, it is a great hate piece. If I saw more decks using the graveyard in my meta I would slot it in. Cage, Journey, Gravestone, and Noxious are decent gravehate cards already. Cage and Gravestone especially because of Whir and Opal. Gravestone also doubles as an infinite outlet to draw the deck.

What do you think of Runic Armasaur as a draw engine for the deck? Also I was thinking to include a Living Wish package since may playgroup is fine with it, including some finishers in case I draw it lategame without gas, some hatecards for certain decks, some value cards some cycling cards in case I have humility out. For lategame finishers I was thinking of Tidespout Tyrant, as it easily produces infinite mana with some positive rocks, Muldrotha, the Gravetide, Rashmi, Eternities Crafter or Sun Titan as big value cards. For specific hate cards Faerie Macabre,Notion Thief or Spirit of the Labyrinth, Linvala, Keeper of Silence, Dosan the Falling Leaf or Grand Abolisher, Hex Parasite or Vampire Hexmage against teferi, animar or marvyn and Phyrexian Revoker Other options include Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite, Snapcaster Mage ,Reclamation Sage, Spellseeker, Gilded Drake, Seedborn Muse, ... the list goes on. The thing is that living wish gives you the option to have all those creatures available with the wish, but you don't need to stuff your deck with cards that hurt of adnaus and are horrible with humility. In case of humility beeing tutor target no1. in all your games you could consider adding Street Wraith to avoid the wish beeing dead So please tell me what you think of the with and the dinosaur!

Runic Armasaur can be meta dependant. I think it can be an excellent include vs 4c tymna decks because it blocks well and draws off fetches. Unfortunately it misses a great deal of combos so I don't think it cuts the sauce in my meta. I could be wrong of course.
Wishboards are fun! I would suggest Rashmi over Titan and Moldy because of the cost. Spirit of the Lab is a big nonbo because of Rhystic, Remora, Library, and Thrasios. And I don't think Windfall + Spirit is where this deck wants to be. Gilded Drake, Norn, Linvala, and Spellseeker are great options. Unfortunately, Faerie Macabre and Hexmage are telegraphed but perhaps still good enough.
I would also consider adding a utopia land as an emergency fixer/land drop.
