I love LD myself but the trouble with LD decks is that one (read me) sometimes forget that you don't win games by destroying land.
In my opinion you have a tad to meny LD in your deck and a little to few cards that will grant you the victory. So I would suggest taking some out and adding some creatures or spell that will do some damage and get your opponent to 0 life.
Also I would lose the birds for some 4 Llanowar Elves and 4 Fyndhorn Elves giving you a more consistent starting hand with mana acceleration and they can peck a few lifes also which the birds cant.
I don't know if you are trying to keep this in a certain format, but I believe strip mine is restricted in vintage and banned in the rest of the formats.
Best of luck

That is exactly one of the problems i noticed! great advices, thanks! I have inferno titan for some damage but do you have any more ideas on some good damage creature?

and this deck is just casual.

Thanks!

I have only recently taken up magic again, played back around 4th edition so I'm not really up to date on the creatures and creatures are a lot better now than back then. I myself used Storm seeker but a max 7 damage for 4 mana is less than what a lot of R burn will give you, 4 Lightning bolt and 4 incinerate will give the deck a bit more bite and then a few bigger creatures.
I also think you need to look at your manabase... 12 LD lands leaves you with very little colored mana sources, cut the Tectonic Edge and add more forest and mountains. You would like to remove your opponents lands well before he/she hits 4 lands.

Some nice creatures for Land Destruction decks are:
Terravore
Akki Blizzard-Herder
Avalanche Riders
Shivan Wumpus
Argothian Wurm

Also Roiling Terrain could hurt the opponent :p

It's (for the most part) a good land destruction deck. I'm just not fond of Goblin Ruinblaster not being able to kill basic lands

I agree with DedWards that the Goblin Ruinblaster could go no problem. You already have more than enough LD I would say. Nice with the creatures I think I will add some to my Jokulhaups deck:
http://www.mtgvault.com/ViewDeck.aspx?DeckID=142977. You might still be a little short on mana as 10 of your 22 lands are still producing colorless mana...
