Confounding Conundrum
Enchantment
When this enters, draw a card.
Whenever a land enters under an opponent's control, if that player had another land enter under their control this turn, they return a land they control to its owner's hand.

I too have been trying to build an “X” deck. Definitely a lot of ways you could take this - love your ideas!
Some other thoughts - Confounding Conundrum, Turbulent Dreams, Consuming Tide and Faerie Slumber Party seem like ways to keep the board state in check and opponents’ hands full - though you risk “X" getting discarded if opponents don’t have unlimited hand size. Price of Knowledge could help here. Mind Over Matter, Psychic Frog also seems like potential adds allowing you to discard your own cards for advantage and also would protect against Price of Knowledge.
Also, personally, I find if I have under 37 lands I’m getting regularly mana screwed - and Reliquary Tower seems like it might be a good add here with all the card draw. And Buried Ruin to retrieve any key artifacts.
And maybe Thought Vessel instead of Mind Stone to make sure you’re keeping all the cards you want to?

Out
2 land (for Abstergo Entertainment and Hydroelectric Specimen Flip)
Confounding Conundrum: decent hate piece but very matchup dependent and easy to play around
Narset, Parter of Veils: while a good hate piece, it may not work well in this deck since you sort of want your opponents drawing to speed up your game plan but maybe also you don't want them drawing into interaction, I can see arguments for and against.
Curse of the Swine: It is also sort of an iffy card, like on paper it looks decent but I stopped running it after seeing it rarely made a difference in every deck I played it. I guess it can get rid of a couple of troublesome creatures so like Narset I am iffy on if dropping it is a good idea or not
Chrome Mox: This deck sort of feels a bit slower and I do not think this gives it any extra speed it needs, Mana Vault would be better
In
Abstergo Entertainment (graveyard hate and can get back something useful)
Lantern/Top deck manipulation pieces: maybe a suggested package
Grave hate
Soul-Guide Lantern / Tormod's Crypt / Ghost Vacuum / Grafdigger's Cage
Hate pieces
Wandering Archaic Flip (protection)
Teferi, Mage of Zhalfir (protection in your turn) Interaction
Hydroelectric Specimen Flip (protection)
other
Displacer Kitten: Blink Jace for repeated mill and The Ring for protection
Jace, Wielder of Mysteries: works with your game plan and lets you flip the script and traumatize yourself then +1 him and win.

Why not go with Ghost Quarter over Field of Ruin also this deck might benefit from more colors. Confounding Conundrum would be a really good add to this deck. It will slow down those Mana ramp decks tremendously and your opponents will be in a really bad spot when you target lands with your land destruction.

Profet93 I remembered a miserable Draw, Go Stasis + Forsaken City deck from back in the day. It felt like unexplored EDH space.
Land Equilibrium is anti green tech similar to Confounding Conundrum that the strategy could definitely utilize.

I'm working on a landhate deck in blue.
I think, instead of Ashiok, maybe Confounding Conundrum could do the same thing for a mana cheaper. It also gives you a Leonin Arbiter effect w/Ghost Quarter/Field of Ruin. If you're on the play and it gets out on your t2, that could completely ruin their game.
Then, there's Trinisphere.
I'm also looking at Squelch for cantrip. Other cantrips/draw: Remand, Censor, Repeal, and a 1 of Noxious Revival, just in case.
This gets away from what you're trying to do... But you could splash green for Choke. Don't play islands.

@Starsky2814 as soon as I get my decklist put together i'll link you to it, Confounding Conundrum is one of the big enchantments I also plan on playing in sync with Storm Cauldron . as mentioned the other support pieces i have going along with the cauldron to break that parity are things like Burgeoning , Rites of Flourishing (really nice with conundrum), Oracle, Azusa ETC. I LOOK AT IT AS NOT PLAYING LAND DESTRUCTION BUT RATHER LAND CONTROL

MLS91, I think Storm Cauldron is a fun card to build around. It’s great for hitting those landfall triggers and bouncing lands like Gaea's Cradle . With that said, it’s important that you have quite a bit of pieces that allow you to put additional lands into play, so you’re not setting yourself back with it. I’m considering on adding Confounding Conundrum to pair with it to really set opponents back.
