I have been tinkering with Zozu the punisher in EDH for several months. I have looked at several decklist online & I do not like what I see. I do not want to run a land destruction deck.
Thievery auction & ghost quarter/crucible of worlds seem to be good ways to punish my friends with Zozu.
So is there any mass land destruction cards that let your opponents replace the lands that blew up? Like ghost quarter but on a mass scale?
From the Ashes is what you're looking for, which just came out in comm13. In mono it's especially powerful as it is likely you're mostly running basics anyways.
Other than that, you can Crucible-quarter every turn.
You might also want to rethink your stance on MLD. I'm not saying you should run 10 armageddon effects, but land regulation cards like Tectonic Break, Keldon Firebombers, and Destructive Force could do good work without completely screwing your friends out of lands.
The problem with entirely eschewing Mass LD is that MLD is good with Zo-Zu because it keeps him relevant into the late game, as do damage-doublers. The simple fact is, if someone already has 10 or so lands, it's a lot easier to play around your punishment than if they had less, and MLD exploits that fact.

Thank you
I don't think there's any way to flicker lands en masse, although there are a fair few flicker cards that can target any (single) permanent.

Not exactly, but you can drop storm cauldron.

Ruin ghost too, perhaps.
Nothing else I can think of flickers lands. But ruination is one-way MLD, and people will ramp/recover hard after it.
