i played a lot of life from the loam deck
so when i tested the o life from the loam deck the real problem was that devasting dreams when it is countered you just lose the game against threshold and you dont have enough removals
when i tested it against a white version of threshold i found that usually if the opponent knows how to play i mean he doesn t need to counter life from the loam
(eventually needle wasteland) or burning wish eventually daze it has just to counter seimic assaut and the cards which would kill his creature just win
sword some wall and it is game because of what? , because life from the loam i agree make you draw a lot of cards but you have also in your deck a lot of cards
which are used only to abuse it extra lands mox diamond exploration so you draw draw then you play something but usually it is too late
so i play a more controllish build without mana acceleration cause it sucks in a deck which dont want to be aggro or combo
and a lot of removals
here what i am testing

4 wooded foothils
3 windswepth heath
2 taiga
2 plateau
3 mountain
2 forest
1 plain
4 forgotten cave
4 tranquil thicket
2 secluded steppe

creatures
4 anurid brushopper
3 loaming shaman
3 jotun grunt

removals
4 swords to plownshare
4 condemn
4 lightning helix
4 seimic assaut

4 burning wish
3 life from the loam

side
1 life from the loam
1 nostalgic dream
1 shattering spree
1 hull breach
1 pyroclasm
3 red
3 pyroblast
4 pyrostatic pillar

matchup
i dont have percent matchup cause when i play against a deck it is on mws so i dont play ten or more decks against only a deck

against zoo decks stompy decks like
usually you can remove all their creatures then lock them with either
anurid brushopper (if it s not zilla stompy) or seimic assaut
good matchup

against as
i played only three games
the only think you have to do is to remove their mother of the rune
i won the two game where i killed his mother of the rune
and lost one game when he had the mother of the rune
you have eight removals which killed everything

agaisnt gob
i played only two games and won 2-0
remove their lackey and fetch for basics
then play seimic assaut and it should be game
he didn t side pithing needle
need more testing

affinity
won 1-0

survival welder
lost 2-3 i played against a man i won 2-1 and lost 2-0 against another man

green white armageddon
won 2-0

burn
lost 2-0

gamekeeper deck
won 3-2
close matchup they side their sss you are siding pyrostatic pillar

red white control
you beat them easily with seimic assaut

truffle shuffle
won 2-0
take care that they dont echo you and shuffle some card with shaman and jotun grunt
then usually they can t stop anurid brushopper and life from the loam recursion

high tide
i think it s a bad matchup but i won 2-1
after siding 10 cards so you have 13 cards in your deck that they need to counter
i dont know if it is enough

threshold
i won 2-1 against a red version
2-1 against a white version sideboarding jotun grunt
1-0 then player lost against a red version
i really think it is a good matchup
your creature if they resolve all hurts a lot the threshold deck that s what does the difference with o land destruction and you have also 8 ways of killing their werebear

iggy pop
not tested yet

black white confinment
good matchup won 2-0
i had luck that they didn t side leyline of the void
usually they prefer playing withered maindeck which is not a problem because of your removals

red death
won 2-0 (dark confidant version he didn t see negator phyrexian during the two match )

stax
bad matchup i lst 4-0 version with armageddon
stax aggro made 1-1

against faeris stompy
not with this deck but an ancient version what you have to do is burning wish shattering spree before wishing for life from the loam cause chalice for two is usually enough to kill you
remember that shattering spree can destroy a chalice for one

madness
won 2-0 (not the version which won but a man playing intuition and roar of the wurm)

43 land decks
won 2-0 maybe i had luck but in the two game he didnt see life from the loam
play basic lands then seimic assaut is game you have also a lot of graveyard hate which helps a lot

counterbalance deck
bad matchup usually a resolved counterbalance with a sensei is enough to kill you if you dont have played creature

enchantress
lost 2-1 i don t think this deck is a lot played but he resolver solitary confinment ad it was the end

blue confinment deck
not tested

tog
not tested

i tested in extended this deck (-4 sword +4 mongrel)
against rock
won 2-0
against
ichorid won 2-0
