I'm interesting in a standard troll deck in the Grixis colors utilizing Sire of Stagnation and Land Destruction. Does something like this exist and, if not, what do you think it should look like?
There was a video on MTGGoldfish a couple days ago that showed a pretty decent land destruction deck. I don't have it right now, but given how greedy people are being with their mana, it feels like now is the time, if ever, to try to play a land destruction deck.

I'd love to see it. As well as the face of the foil-expedition-land owner when it's destroyed. But still - I don't think this will do any good starting turn 4, while you're on a draw for an instance, with Anafenza and / or Rhino already on the other side of the board. Or against control. Or against RG mana landfall ramp. Or against RDW. But I can be wrong, of course.

The video in mtg goldfish was great to watch. He basically used 11 two cost mana dorks to start the land destruction on turn 3. I have built the deck on mtgo and subbed out the 3 atarkas for Bane of Bala Ged and ugin in there place. From the games I've played, peoples mana base are extremely greedy and if you cut them off of certain colors they just scoop.

As a perfect Johny I'm looking for land destruction in Standard since Theros at least and, saddly, it's not possible (i.m.o). Everything suitable always starts turn 4 at best (you can be dead by that time against some decks) and is highly unimpressive (present mana fixing vs "destroy target land" effects...).
