Also, 2-for-1-ing yourself to destroy a land is a really bad deal. You're never going to want to exile Simian Spirit guide or play Dark Ritual for an LD spell on turn 1-2, as this will set you back way too far to your opponent. You need to accept that unless you cast Sinkhole on turn two, you're going to have to wait 'til turn 3 to start your LD.
What works a lot better is permanent sources of ramp, like Llanowar Elves. I think B/G might be a better combination.
If you're really interested in Land Destruction in Pauper, check out this Mono Black LD Control deck that made it really far into the Pauper Guantlet on MTGStrat. You can watch the videos and see their decklist in the description.
Having experimented thoroughly with the concept in multiple formats, I can say with confidence that you need to at least break even in order to get anywhere with this strategy. If he was playing a more Ponza-style deck, which actually takes advantage of the opponent stumbling, then getting early LD makes a lot more sense. As his deck sits, 2-for-1 won't cut it.
Just off the top of my head, here is what I was thinking:
4 Liliana's Spectre
4 Simian Spirit Guide
4 Dark Ritual
4 Duress
4 Lightning Bolt
3 Terminate
4 Sinkhole
4 Stone Rain
4 Hymn to Torach
3 Read the Bones
4 Mountain
4 Bloodfell Caves

Not too many plays more demoralizing than that.
