Okay, I am aware that Living Lands + Ambush Commander looks a little redundant, but the first makes all forests (in and out of play) count as creatures and the second gives your in play forests color (allowing them to trigger Verdant Succession) and a sac outlet (allowing you to repeat the process).  Combined with the Verdant Succession + Bloodbond March combo, this should allow you to put all lands in your library directly into play in one turn with no cost of life (fastbond or equivilant).

Living Lands does work the way you think it does.
Final Judgement says: exile all creatures. This does not mean you search your hand, graveyard, library, and battlefield for all creature cards you own and exile them and then have each other player do the same. You only exile all the creatures on the battlefield.
Living Lands basically says: "All forests (in play) are 1/1 lands." Even if they were, you'd have to look at Dryad Arbor, which is a forest that is also a 1/1 dryad. It still is not a "creature spell" even though it is a creature. It is a land.

It was a good idea, but sadly it does not work.

That is unfortunate.  I guess you could still use something like Verdant + Ambush Com. + Crucible of Worlds to perfect your mana curve and act as a mana severance for your deck.   Not quite as epic though.

If you want to use Crucible of Worlds, you could toss in Essense Warden and Fastbond, you can just keep the land elves coming back if you ever sacrifice them to Ambush Commander. This becomes infinite if you have something that grants an extra mana from your forests.

Since you pointed it out, Verdant Succession will let you put all of your lands in play. SCARY!
