I'd like to start by saying Keldon Firebombers and Sundering Titan .

Mana Flare seems weird, considering you're trying to deny people their mana.  Maybe Armillary Sphere or Solemn Simulacrum instead, both are nice with Extraplanar Lens, the Gauntlets, Caged Sun and Valakut.

Tower of Fortune's activated ability is expensive if you are blowing up all lands. Mind's Eye is a little more mana effective.

Here's a couple of random LD spells.
Thoughts of Ruin
Destructive Force
Wildfire
Tectonic Break

OMG yes! Keldon Firebombers the best 49 cents spent on EDH ever. Epicenter is also surprisingly good and surprisingly cheap.

Thanks for all of the replies!

@WhiteRaven810 - I get the purpose, but I'll put Darksteel Plate into the maybe pile for now.

@Zauzich - Rumbling Crescendo just isn't that effective for its high casting cost and it takes too long to get online.  Orcish Settlers , on the other hand, are going in - at least on the sideboard.

@bay_falconer - Very fun combo, but I have too few ways to get that online and artifact removal isn't the purpose of this deck.

@TheMern - GAH!  You always suggest a ton of cards I want to use!  I must make room for Keldon Firebombers .  I'm lukewarm about Sundering Titan as I have no way to reuse/abuse him.  He probably won't make the cut.

Mana Flare was another form of accel since the average CC is kinda high with this deck but I agree it could go south for me - its out now.  I'll see if I can make room for Armillary Sphere as it is cheaper ($ wise) than Solemn Simulacrum .

Tower of Fortunes could sit there and rot or it can provide more cards than Mind's Eye .  Now that I think about it avoiding activated card draw artifacts may be the way to go.  What about Mercadian Atlas and/or Well of Discovery ?

As for the remaining LD cards you mentioned, all are under consideration, especially Wildfire and Destructive Force .

@Disturbed185 - Agreed on Keldon Firebombers, and Epicenter is another card that is under consideration.

I made a few changes, and have added a sideboard so I can adjust to playing nonbasic heavy vs mono-color with basic lands.  Here are my changes so far, with more to come.

Out:
Dragon Tyrant - Great finisher, but doesn't really fit.
Mana Flare - Could easily blow up in my face.
Wake of Destruction - To sideboard.

In:
Snow-Covered Mountain x 2 - 36 lands was too light for this build.
Keldon Firebombers

Other:
Wake of Destruction sideboarded and will replace Ruination when facing decks with few nonbasics.
Invader Parasite sideboarded and will replace Dwarven Blastminer when facing decks with few nonbasics.
Orcish Settlers sideboarded and will replace Dwarven Miner when facing decks with few nonbasics.

The same will probably need to occur to Blood Moon and Magus of the Moon .  Any suggestions there?

Anything that I should take out?

Why not just use Wildfire ?  Doesn't have to be the $$$ version of the card.

@ The brothers moon, use both. 

For my own suggestion, you could use Temporal Aperture (for making science!) as it has a little CA in it's operation.

cheers,

Malph

@Xile - In addition to the ludicrous price, from my view Burning of Xinye is a strictly worse version of Wildfire since it can't remove indestructible lands.

@malpheas - Agreed on Wildfire , I am just seeing how it (or Destructive Force ) can fit.

Regarding the "brothers moon" they will always be in for the most part, but there are a few decks I can face (especially mono-colored) in 1 on 1 that don't run very many nonbasics so those cards would have limited usefulness.  I'm hunting for sideboard possibilities for those cards.

Temporal Aperture is interesting - into the maybe pile it goes.

Cards I am also considering in addition to the ones listed above:
Mana Web
Citadel of Pain
Tectonic Instability
Stoneshaker Shaman
Impending Disaster

I'm not entirely convinced about Vicious Shadows , but it COULD be powerful.

Changes:

Out:
Fanning the Flames - The high Buyback makes it difficult to use.
Tower of Fortunes
Urza's Blueprints

In:
Devil's Play - Doesn't have Buyback, but is cheaper initially than Fanning the Flames and has a decent Flashback cost.
Mercadian Atlas
Well of Discovery
