Deck Description

So basically this is just a simple "I want to lose friends" LD deck. I felt inspired to build this deck after seeing a deck tech posted on mtggoldfish.com, after playing with it some I decided to make a few adjustments to the deck. It's actually competitive in the current meta thanks to the ability to destroy/exile artifacts with Reclaiming Vines/Structural Distortion.
Please let me know your thoughts.

How to Play

Turn 1: You have 0 turn 1 plays in this deck, so if you have a land that is absolutly going to enter tapped (Cinder Glade) this is the turn to play it.
Turn 2: You wanna drop a mana dork to ramp into a LD spell on your turn 3, so either Servant or Captive here.
Turn 3: You have a few different options here, if your mana dork lived then you can cast a LD spell here and keep your opponent behind or just off a specific color, If your mana dork died from an opponent's kill spell then you you can play a Tireless Tracker knowing that they might not have a kill spell now.
Turn 4: Start the grind fest. If you managed to cast a LD spell last turn and your opponent didn't already have an oppressive board, keep casting them. If you have to deal with creatures getting in on you then you have 7 kill/burn spells and 3 Chandra to deal with it. If you have a lone Tireless tracker on the field then you can either start casting LD spells or you can focus on buffing him and playing another spell or just drop a Chandra.
Turn 5: So pretty much the best possible play here is if you did cast Chandra on turn 4 and can stay on curve with 5 lands, then you plus Chandra adding 2 mana and cast a World Breaker. If your opponent was even slightly behind or even with you in some way on board state, this puts you ahead.

After Turn 5 it just turns into (hopefully) play whatever card you draw and just keep up the pressure.
The sideboard is mostly for the matches where destroying you opponents lands just has no impact, so you side out a lot if not all the LD spells and go into a hardcore R/G aggro mode.
