My take on green land destruction with a twist of simic ramp and control.

Reef Shaman + Convincing Mirage act as early land control before being able to destroy their lands with Thermokarst or Mwonvuli Acid-Moss. You can turn off counter spells or any other responses to your land destruction by turn 3. Phantasmal Terrain is also an option, but currently have opted for counter spell instead.

Our win condition is to rely on Avenging Hunter and the initiative, hopefully utilizing it on turn 4. Coiling Oracle allows us to use our Brainstorm stacks to dish out lands quickly. If all else fails, ping slowly while turning their lands against them.

I am stuck between Arboreal Grazer or Growth Spiral, so there are 2 of each until I figure out which one I like more. Grazer gives a good turn 1 play if there are no Reef Shamans available, and becomes clunky late game. Growth Spiral is only effective beginning turn 2 and can sometimes be only a draw 1 for UG. Abundant Growth makes dead Skerry and Woodlot utilizable, plus card draw.

Currently the deck could use more creatures that interact with the board state other than just lands.
