Landfall! And hell yeah im gonna proxy Crucible of Worlds. My current strategy is to try and tutor up Hermit Druid, then use him to fill my graveyard. When waiting to do that you can play the "I'm barely doing anything" and then play a 'good for everyone' board wipe or target removal.I used a MTGsalvation deck as the basis for the deck, however the lands in the original cost a cool $1000. Link to original

Win strats

Kamahl, Fist of Krosa Pump creatures for a win or turn one enemy's lands into creatures and boardwipe.

Worm Harvest Play this a couple times when your graveyard is filled from Hermit Druid

Avenger of Zendikar Simply play lands and then follow with this card.

Rude Awakening Another card for after you have many lands.

Liege of the Tangle Turns your lands into 8/8s while he himself can hit for 8. You can cast him for with Teneb, the Harvester as well.

Tutors

I limited myself to Defense of the Heart and Green Sun's Zenith as these weren't as expensive as Vampiric Tutor or Demonic Tutor.

Beseech the Queen This one works well in a deck full of lands!

Buried Alive Grab a few creatures and put them to the graveyard, works great with Teneb, the Harvester. This is a cheap version of Entomb.

Defense of the Heart My playgroup is creature/token gen heavy so I feel this will easily trigger. Basically a Tooth and Nail entwined.

Diabolic Tutor A knock-off Demonic Tutor.

Dimir Machinations Another good tutor, this can get Crucible of Worlds + Courser of Kruphix + Horn of Greed + Eternal Witness + Aura Shards + Gift of Immortality. Three drops are prevalent in the deck, so I'm bound to get what I need.

Fierce Empath Gets a big creature including win cards like Avenger of Zendikar + Kamahl, Fist of Krosa , or one of the removal creatures ala Terastodon + Angel of Despair + Ashen Rider + Admonition Angel.

Green Sun's Zenith Probably the cheapest way to get Hermit Druid and it's reusable, I feel as though this one is worth it.

Increasing Ambition Perhaps it's overcosted, but not in cash! Additionally the flashback is usefully if it gets milled by Hermit Druid.

Jarad's Orders This can get Hermit Druid to your hand and any other big creature to the graveyard for recursion.

Recursion

Teneb, the Harvester Using a lot of creatures for recursion, and creatures for removal makes Teneb really shine!

Eternal Witness No questions asked, get a card to your hand. Especially good for things that aren't creatures, like Crucible of Worlds.

Hag Hedge-Mage Would be a little better if it went to your hand, but the top of the library will do. Good news is that since hes a creature he might be a bit better than Gravepurge.

Karmic Guide Gets a creature from the graveyard onto the battlefield and sacrifices itself so Teneb, the Harvester can grab him!

Reveillark The evoke is nice, since it can then be easily recurred. Great to get back the Utility creatures like Hermit Druid.

Sun Titan Gets back Crucible of Worlds + Hermit Druid + Courser of Kruphix + Eternal Witness + Fierce Empath + Horn of Greed + Gift of Immortality + Hag Hedge-Mage + Knight of the Reliquary + Aura Shards.

Animate Dead + Necromancy These are interesting creature recursion because I am not limited to my own graveyard and Sun Titan can get them back.

Dread Return This one is creature recursion that is limited to my own graveyard.

Obzedat's Aid A cheap version of Beacon of Unrest however the original deck said that the shuffle in effect of Beacon wasn't necessary. I can totally believe that! Looks like a great card.

Buried Ruin Particularly for Crucible of Worlds.

Board Wipes and Removal

Rout + Wrath of God + Martial Coup + Black Sun's Zenith Board wipes each with their own quirk: instant, no regenerate, tokens, -1/-1 counters.

Mortify + Putrefy + Swords to Plowshares Instant speed spot removal.

Admonition Angel + Angel of Despair + Ashen Rider + Terastodon + Woodfall Primus Creature based spot removal.

Aura Shards Hopefully with the landfall token generation it has the chance of being pretty nasty when it needs to be.
