I think you should suppress your Hypnotics. OK, Hypnotics are great, but IMHO,
you should focus on land destruction rather than hand denial
You should add 4 dark rituals and 4 Sinkholes.That would really speed your
deck! (By the way,Fissure is too slow for a quick land destruction deck)
Another idea is to add some blue for Power Sink and Psychic Venom . Then you
could add some black enchant land (BB) that destroys land when tapped (but I
don't remember its name)
Last but not least, try Dingus Egg

Blue if used well can be a good support.

Travis has a good point, but Bog Wraiths are Bolt fodder so toy with
Leshrac's Sigil (IA gives creature Swampwalk). Do you use R/G/B? Mebbe
Wombats with the Sigils and whatever to do damage and mebbe one
Earthlink. Be warned that swamps have the potential to be Dark Ritualed
and thus always a danger unless they don't use Black. Evil Presence is
good for neutralizing those special lands (i.e. Storage, sacland, multi,
special ability). Good luck!

I had the same problem with my Type 2 Land Destruction deck. I solved it
by adding 3 Pyroclasms. My reasoning was that the only thing that would
beat it was likely to be a weeny creature deck, which the Pyroclasms do
a magnificent job with. I started out with 4 'clasms in the sideboard but
found that I was still getting beat too easily by weeny creatures that would
take the first game of the best of three match. So I moved 3 of them to the
main deck (they can be still be swapped out if you find you don't need them)
and I started doing a _lot_ better.
As for Type 1, you may be stuck. Trying to run that baby against decks with
Moxen in them may simply never work. When I ran a Type 1 Land Destruction
deck, I went for 16 straight LD cards instead of 12 and the Fissures. Fissures
are too slow for your purposes. At the time, I used Ice Storms and Sinkholes
with the Stone Rains and Strip Mines. You can just add Sinkholes to the above
(if you can get them) and I suspect it'll help. Lose the Demonic Hordes and
replace them with the last Vice and maybe a Howling Mine or two or maybe
more direct damage. Demonic Hordes are wonderful if you can get them out and
start using them but usually they're simply too slow. And any white opponent
worth his salt will save his StP's for them.

Most LD decks nowadays utilize both green and black- demonic hordes are
a little slow and dangerous, but if you put instill energies in your deck, they
are great for getting and maintaining a land lock on the opponent. You need
the fast land destruction cards (mostly strip mines and sinkholes, I would go
to to ice storms the icequakes in that order after that for mana reasons)
Word of advice- if you use this tactic against white kill their last 3 mana on the
same turn if you can- you do not want them to play a balance if they have 2 land
if you have a hordes out!
Also, another reason for green: Titanias Song is the ultimate mox killer! Spell
blast is good against lotus/mox. Artifact blasts work for red, but moxes tend
to get out too fast for artifact blast to be succesful, in general, run against
moxes with shatters or shatterstorm (or both- use a shatter as couter bait and
follow up with shatterstorm!)

Just don't use the dark ritual to pop you're demonic hordes out at
the beginning of the game--or you'll speed the game up a lot faster than
you intend!

fissures with sinkholes and if u can add white for dieschants and maybe
swords to plowshares...even better.
A tournament winning deck i saw over here was just like that, it played
green/black/red/white but i think it would do better without green. Your
land destroyers should be: Icequake, sinkhole, strip mine and stone
rain.
Hope it hepls, Alberto.

I know you already have them in the deck, but before
1, I would put:
0) Strip mine
Just for completeness of your little list.
Also, I would probably put Icequake in "1.5"- it's sized right
for a dark ritual.

Pick up four UL Sinkholes ($10 I think). Drop the Icequakes and specters (I'll
tell you why later) Oh, good god DROP THE HORDES too big, and their a
creature. (explain later). Drop the drain lifre and add paralyzes (lots).

Drop the fissures, their too expensive., Pick up a fork.

Add another Black Vise, and drop the fountain.

Add Taberbnacle at Pendrale Vale (Legendary Land requires all creatures to
have an upkeep of 1)
Think abot adding green for Ice Storms, regrowtth etc. Also, Howling mines are
good, because they keep drawing cards, and can't play them. I have a Land
destruction deck that's kickin' and wins tourneys, e-mail me if you want to
see a copy of it

How about some Jandor`s Saddlebags to double the Hordes` pleasure? And
you still get 5 points back if the opponent plows it. Just Raise it back into
your hands or better yet, Animate it.
