So I tried a deck with no lands This Is Not A Good Idea, now I'll try one with only lands.

The Lands

Removal

Blighted Fen , Mouth of Ronom , Scavenger Grounds , Strip Mine and The Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale provide a fairly versatile removal suite.

Protection

Glacial Chasm , Halls of Mist , Ice Floe , Island of Wak-Wak , Kor Haven , Maze of Ith , Mystifying Maze and Prahv, Spires of Order provide a way to keep my life total in tact for as long as possible.

Damage

Barbarian Ring , Blighted Gorge , Ramunap Ruins , Shivan Gorge and Stensia Bloodhall provide, possible, final points of damage to either creatures or players.

Creatures

Manlands and cards like Dark Depths , Foundry of the Consuls , Gargoyle Castle , Kher Keep , Memorial to Glory , Spawning Bed , Springjack Pasture , Urza's Factory , Vitu-Ghazi, the City-Tree and Westvale Abbey   provide creatures for either, ramping up on mana or attacking/blocking.

Sacrifice Outlets

Diamond Valley , Grim Backwoods , High Market , Miren, the Moaning Well , Phyrexian Tower provide a way to sacrifice Child of Alara when the battlefield just needs to be dealt with.

Recursion

Haunted Fengraf , Memorial to Folly , Mortuary Mire and Volrath's Stronghold are there to recur Child of Alara from my graveyard as I have a feeling I'll need to destroy a lot of nonland permanents to stay alive. Unfortunately there aren't very many lands with this ability, Volrath's Stronghold being the only repeatable recursive land I know of. If I really need to I can use Bojuka Bog and Scavenger Grounds to put Child of Alara back into the command zone, but that's a last resort.

Wincons

There aren't many ways to win with this deck but the main ways are attacking with Child of Alara or any manlands/tokens created by my lands, making a single creature big and unblockable with Kessig Wolf Run + Rogue's Passage or getting 10 gates into play with Maze's End .

Other Lands

There isn't much to say here, the rest of the lands are there for utility purposes like mana fixing and card draw.

Any suggestions would be very helpful as this is a pretty ambitious idea
