Deck discussion for Murderous Loam

Stone Rain, Molten Rain, and Rain of Tears all cost 3 mana and can be recast from the graveyard via Goblin Dark-Dwellers. Fulminator Mage is another 3 mana land destroyer, though it can't be reused with Goblin and can only destroy nonbasic lands.

Crumble to Dust, and Sowing Salt can exile a nonbasic land and then exiles all copies from their hand, graveyard, and library. Good against Urza lands.

Avalanche Riders is a classic land destroying creature.

You going to want some form of board sweep, even if only from the sideboard. Anger of the Gods is awesome because of the exile clause, but Sweltering Suns is good too. Damnation is good, but it's too expensive ($) imo. Bontu's Last Reckoning is the new sweep I'm interested in testing. Languish is great against anything with 4 or less toughness. Anger, Suns, and Reckoning can be recast with Goblin Dark-Dwellers.

For single target removal, your best options are Lightning Bolt and Fatal Push.

As for finishers, there's a lot of options. I'll just list the ones on my radar: Chandra, Torch of Defiance; Stormbreath Dragon; and Ob Nixilis Reignited. The Walkers also double as card advantage, while the Dragon is naturally resistant to a large amount of targeted removal in Modern. Goblin Dark-Dwellers is also a minor threat thanks to Menace.

(yes, I really like Goblin Dark-Dwellers :P )

All good options. Seems like you should make a Dark-Dwellers deck or two. ;)

I already run them I'm Standard and Modern. My Standard RW control / midrange deck and my take on Ponza each run 3 Goblin Dark-Dwellers. I own 4 of the alternative art, foiled Goblin Dark-Dwellers :P

Sweet! I don't really play standard, I mostly just play with friends and we use anything post Tenth Edition.

Admittedly, I don't always build the most streamlined decks, but that's because I like the story. I enjoy having a theme, a tribe, a setting... The fun of Magic for me isn't necessarily winning. It's building the best deck I can around the ideas I come up with. :)

Feel free to check out some of my other decks too!

Well, most of what I suggested is pre 10th, especially the 3 mana land destruction cards, and will streamline your deck a bit. I only play Standard at FNM, I prefer Modern as most of my collection is Modern legal.
