For so long I've wanted to make a deck that utilized Strip Mines and Crucible of Worlds (and ghost quarters to kill one land whilst I strip another). The problem being: CoW costs over $20.
Awhile ago, I found this lovely giant called Sun Titan. Whenever he attacks or comes into play, I get a permanent with CMC <4 into play. I figured that was perfect for a monoblack reanimation deck (necromancy[3] and animate dead[2]) and stopped thinking after that.
Then today, I tested the deck and it dawned on me, I can get lands back.

Here is why Sun Titan is better than Crucible of the World:
Reanimating it makes it cost the same or less.
Having multiple copies of ST in play means getting multiple lands in play.
You can hit people with it (and block!)

Strategy is simple:
1)Play and sacrifice Strip Mine to kill opponent's land
2)Resurrect Sun Titan however you see fit into play.
3)Return Strip Mine to play.
4)Sacrifice Strip Mine again.
5)Repeat steps 3 and 4 until opponent is landless
6)Play/Sun-Titan Mundungu into play
7)Use ghost Quarter to kill opponent's next played land
8)Strip Mine aforementioned land, countering any spell with Mundungu.

Enjoy!
