Help wanted: Eradicate land deck tips or thoughts?

Hey guys
I'm trying to build a casual non-format blue-black deck focusing on Eradicate and Wind Zendikon .
A friend and I were discussing the possibility of using Eradicate to exile lands, and I eventual decided to build a deck with Eradicate to troll my friends a bit at our next mtg session ;)
The main goal of the deck is to enchant a basic land, controlled by an opponent, with Wind Zendikon and then use Eradicate to exile all basic lands used by the same opponent. The deck is primarily going to be used against monocolored decks to insure the efficiency of Eradicate .
I was wondering if anyone had any input regarding creatures, instants or sorceries that might fit well in this type of deck? I've also added a small list of cards that I might include, so any thoughts on those would be much appreciated aswell!
Maybe cards:
Rain of Tears or Rancid Earth - to remove the last couple of lands in play.
Blood Pet to accelerate Eradicate for T3
Perplex - for additional troll value
Wasp Lancer - damage
Doom Blade - destroying potential threats early
You're right, the Corrupted Zendikon is actually pretty nice. I somehow remembered it as costing four mana and not two... Will definitely be considered! Thanks

Ohh I suddenly remembered why I skipped Corrupted Zendikon in the first place.Eradicate only works on non-black creatures. But having a zendikon theme to the deck might actually be pretty nice either way.

If you become less tied to black or want another option, Splinter and Liquimetal Coating is just as nice, and brings your combo count up a bit.

Maelstrom Pulse Might serve your purpose as well. You would have to add green then, but then you could also use Vastwood Zendikon (even though it's expensive).
You might also look at the Genjus. Genju of the Cedars , Genju of the Falls , etc. It's land-specific, but the cards return to your hand.

Wait, I take that back. Maelstrom Pulse wouldn't work, haha.

However, of a similar token to what chormin said, you could also use Mycosynth Lattice .

Thanks for all the feedback.
I really like Genju of the Falls . Makes the enchanted land less of a threat until I decide to spend mana for it's creature ability.
I would prefer to stay blue/black as I have a number of viable cards already (saving money), but green is definitely interesting, if I decide to make the deck a permanent deck in my arsenal for modern.

The black zendikon isn't bad either, gives you a little more redundancy and then you just need to find something to tutor out your Eradicate
