How viable would this be?
First turn: Training Grounds
Second turn: Azorius Guildmage
From then on out, use Azorius Guildmage's blue ability to Stifle their fetchlands, Vampire Hexmages, etc...
Would this combo be too slow to be useful (as it wouldn't actually go on until your third turn, by which time they presumably have their land situation settled), or could it potentially screw your opponent by acting as a repeatable pseudo-Stifle?

Not. DDT will easily deal with the Guildmage or Grounds before popping the Hexmage.
Zoo doesn't really need too many lands, so by the time you've got this up Zoo will already have enough lands or will have dispatched the Guildmage.
Primary problem is that Training Grounds necessitates that you run other creatures that can benefit from it. The other problem is that creatures that become quite good with Training Grounds out are quite bad without Training Grounds being out.
Ideally we'd like cards to have some functional independence; that, or be stupidly good if you ever combo out (see Hexmage -> Depths). Guildmage is pretty bad alone, and even if you do combo out it isn't that fantastic.
