Well...so the concept of this deck originally started as a theory on building a deck around the ultimatums. So I began thinking of the most playable. At first, I wanted to take a whack at 4 color, using Violent and Cruel ultimatum, but I figured that probably starting with a 3 card combo is best. So I look at Violent Ultimatum and think, "man, this would be awesome in land destroying."
Then you see the three colors that rock at land destruction. That's right! Red, Black and Green. And Green has, in my opinion, the best land killer of them all. Mwonvulli Acid-Moss. And combine that with the Ravnica stuff?
Violent Ultimatum x 4
Mwonvulli Acid-Moss x 4
Molten Rain x 3
Stone Rain x 3
Reap and Sow x 4
Thoughtseize x 4
Shattering Spree x 2
Avalanche Riders x 4
Deus of Calamity x 4
Coalition Relic x 4
Reflecting Pool x 4
Savage Lands x 4
Overgrown Tomb x 4
Stomping Ground x 4
Blood Crypt x 4
City of Brass x 4
Well...pretty straightforward. Your finishers are Detritivore and Deus. Shattering Spree is there to take down any artifact heavy decks, as well as being a potential ld card itself. Swap in a sideboarded card if you're not facing artifacts.

I'd leave Spree on the sideboard. Deus is nice, but too slow, you're probably fine with a few copies, and I don't see Detritivore anywhere, he's a good main deck card. I'd play with a full set of stone rains and molten rains, plus rain of tears and Birds of Paradise, for a potential turn-2 LD. Could possibly want to take a look at Smallpox for the side, as well.
