For a while i have been trying to make a red/green landfall deck, which never really worked. Then i came across Crucible of Worlds, and tried to make a deck around that, with Seismic Assault as the other key card. That also didnt really work. But somehow, out of these two ideas, a functional deck eventually emerged. The strategy is Step 1. Attack with your lands, either by turning them into creatures (Genju of the Spires, Raging Ravine, Treetop Village, Hammer of Purphuros, Elemental Uprising, Embodiment of Fury) or turning them into fire (Seismic Assault), and then Step 2. Get your lands back again via Crucible of the Worlds. There are also tricks to move lands from play to your hand, to enable Seismic Assault (Groundskeeper, Mina and Denn, Devour in Flames). Evolving Wilds does amazing work in this deck, since it can be recycled over and over to provide land-creature fodder to e.g. the Genju or Uprising or Hammer, and it also helps get you three lands of the same type to enable card-draw with the Atlas. Could also use Thawing Glaciers to similar effect. The Genju's are amazing with Crucible in play, since they are basically a perpetual 6/1 that keeps coming back at them. Omnath is there because he (she? it?) is both in the colour and theme of the deck (lands awakening), and to provide some late-game beef, and because he (she? it?) is just a great card. This deck is pretty fun to play due to its unusual strategy, and due to the card advantage arising from recycling lands and it is relatively competitive too. The 'man lands' (Treetop Village etc) provide some unexpected advantages revealed via playtesting...they are immune to counterspells, and also immune to most boardwipes (Wrath, Disk etc) if you only activate them in your turn.
