Deck Description

Who hates being mana screwed? Everyone, so lets get some hate. Sole aim of the deck is to remove the opponents entire land base, and then swing with kitchen finks a few times. All advice Welcome as this is my first try and Land hate. Hope you all like it, comment and trial away.

How to Play

Ok so generally Mulligan brutally until you start with Liquimetal or land shaper. the aim is to turn the opponents lands into artifacts. Liquimetal also allows you to remove hefty threats if they occur. You're dream scenario is to Splinter a basic land in someone's mono coloured deck. Without land it's near impossible to win, Kitchen Finks and your smash damage is how to win, try to get a smash exiled with the Scepter for recurring damage.

Deck discussion for Land hate

I honestly love the idea of controlling your opponent with land hate, really loving your use of liquimental coating to turn the lands into artifacts. Great idea man!

Thanks bro, any tips welcome. I am struggling to get it reliable as it mostly relies on savage mulligans till I have a liquimetal in hand...

Firstly, filling out the Description, How to Play, and tags will help in getting people to actually like and comment. Without them, how are people supposed to know what your overall goal is? Or what would be appropriate recommendations?

I only clicked on this because of its name and colours matching one of my favorite decks: Ponza. While this is obviously not a Ponza deck, I do have a few suggestions from my own tinkering with Liquimetal Coating. Firstly, we want to increase the chances of getting Liquimetal Coating or similar effects. You're already part way there but using Ancient Stirrings, but you mat want to include 2-4 copies of Myr Landshaper too.

Next, ways to actually use the artifact alteration effects. Ancient Grudge should be 4x, it's too good to not use. Splinter exiles an artifact and all cards with the same name from that card's owner's hand, graveyard, and library. Splinter is worded in a way that as long as the targeted card is an artifact, it doesn't matter what type the others are. Oxidize is a better Smelt, and both being 1 mana Instants makes them both worthy of 4x.

Lastly, while efficient land destruction is a strong control factor, you still need a way to win. While creatures that destroy artifacts will be first on the radar because of the Liquimetal Coating interactions, I personally see that as a trap. Taking a page from Ponza, efficient beat sticks are more important than interactions with Liquimetal Coating. Being a Ponza player myself, my first choices would include Obstinate Baloth; Stormbreath Dragon; Thrun, the Last Troll; and maybe Kitchen Finks.

What do you think of the alterations, thanks for the great advice. I'll look into writing a description etc. as soon as possible.

I'd drop the number of Scepters and Keys to include more finishers, specifically something bigger than Kitchen Finks. Remember, you're effectively a control deck, but not a reactive control deck. So you need something big to finish games quickly, without relying on you to reactively protect it. While kitchen Finks isn't bad, it is vulnerable to a large amount of removal that can be played before you get a chance to remove the lands. I'm a little biased, but Stormbreath Dragon is a strong finisher. Protection from white means no Path to Exile, 5 cmc means Abrupt Decay and Fatal Push are off the table, and 4 base toughness means it must be double bolted. Thragtusk is another good option as it needs to be removed twice.
