This is a brew I made combining land destruction and taxes. Now that Assassin's Trophy is out there are so many options to target, including lands! And if you just so happen to have Leonin Arbiter out then they don't get a land to replace it. Same goes for Ghost Quarter. Combine that with a playset of Stone Rain and there will be some games where you can keep them at zero lands.

The win condition here is to overrun them with big creatures like Reality Smasher and Thot-Knot Seer or just keep attacking and bouncing Seige Rhino with Eldrazi Displacer. For additional control, you can bounce Thot-Knot Seer the same way and it gets even better when you do it on their turn with Spirit of the Labyrinth out to avoid giving them an extra draw.

Unfortunately this is a 5-color deck (White, Black, Red, Green, Colorless) and the best way I had to make it work was Mana Confluence and pain lands. So to run this deck you have to be willing to sacrifice some of your own life.

Sideboard: Kitchen Finks and Knight of Autumn both pair well with Eldrazi Displacers bounce ability. They both effectively halt aggro decks and Knight of Autumn has utility against artifact and enchantment decks. Back to Nature because Boggles is something I see in my local meta and it can be hard to deal with otherwise. Tormod's Crypt is my favorite all around graveyard hate but feel free to use your own.
