I've always wanted to build a competent land destruction deck, and the current Modern environment seemed ripe for it. Klothys, God of Destiny is a card that recently came out that I really wanted to use as well, so here we are! The basic idea is simple, and the same as most other red/green land destruction decks out there since Modern saw the return of Bloodbraid Elf. But Klothys, God of Destiny adds mana ramp, graveyard hate, direct damage, life gain, and a hard-to-get-rid-of creature to the mix. Also, Nissa, Who Shakes the World and Nissa, Worldwaker make for fun finishers that fit the "land destruction" theme in a different way. Comments and critiques are always welcome!

So I replaced Keen Sense with Oath of Nissa. I think it works better with the type and amount of creatures I have, plus it can help find Nissa. Aside from that...I don't know! I feel like the amount of mana ramp I have should make my 20 lands enough, but I feel like I either get too little or too much mana when I actually play it. When it works, it works great, but I just can't seem to make it work consistently. It's strange. Also, I really don't like reducing the land destruction, but if a troublesome creature comes out before I bake my opponent's lands, what can I do? I probably should have either Lightning Bolt or Crack the Earth in the main deck, but I feel like land destruction reduction (for the Bolts), or mana reduction (if I put in CtE and have to bust my permanents), won't necessarily be great tradeoffs. Honestly, I feel like I have all the parts needed (unless I need to add 2-3 more lands), but can't figure out what should be in the main deck and what's best in the sideboard.

Any help would be much appreciated!
