I've been trying to find a landfall commander that really motivated me, and it came in the newest set, Phylath, World Sculptor! A quick overview of the decks plan is to ramp heavily playing as many lands from our hand and graveyard as possible, playing big creatures, and destroying our opponents lands denying them resources for the win.

Player Hate: Using some red hate pieces to punish our opponents, cards like Price of Glory, and Blood Moon. These cards do not negatively affect our game, we have cards that will allow us to replay lands from out graveyard, and run mostly basics.

Land Hate: The land destruction aspect of the deck is meant for mass removal of lands, it will eventually get a lot of hate. Using cards like Strip Mine and Wasteland playing them multiple times will only attract the hate quicker, while not progessing our board state. Boom / Bust the boom is what we want to play, along with other cards that remove most if not all the lands. Obviously, these cards have higher converted mana costs so our plan to ramp is quickly, blow up all the lands while having a Crucible of Worlds and Exploration like board state allowing us to recover quickly.

Combat Focus: Phylath, World Sculptor out with our plant tokens, each land we play we keep growing specific ones going tall instead of going wide. Allosaurus Rider, and Radha, Heart of Keld pumping herself can easily get out of hand if not dealt with early game. Titania, Protector of Argoth out while dropping multiple lands putting out 5/3 elementals to swing and go for the win with good old combat damage.

Value Play: Board state - Valakut Exploration and Crucible of Worlds out, play Nahiri's Lithoforming sacing your lands replaying them from your graveyard.

Obviously graveyard hate really hurts our deck so we run a healthy amount of artifact and enchantment removal.

Thanks for checking out the deck and if you liked it give it an upvote.
