Weathered Wayfarer in response to Raze or Wasteland is a great way to tutor for more LD. Even more efficient than activating Elvish Reclaimer, though Reclaimer is clearly the better beatdown.
Tested it a bit. Seems like hot garbage. Not near fast or strong enough.
Or how about instead of a Zoo shell you jam Raze into a RUG shell?
Play Raze in place of the odd man out cards like Spell Pierce. It seems to compliment Stifle nicely. If they fetch, you Stifle. If they play a mana land, you Raze or Waste. W6 recurs Wastes and Razed Lands. Arcanist recurs Raze. That’s two ways to recur land destruction in a shell that functions just fine on two lands.

It could be relatively strong. Keep in mind that a good portion of "keeps" are executed on the basis of a single land and a cantrip. If you're on the play and have access to a play using Raze, it can be backbreaking for some decks - especially ones that think they're safe with basic lands against W6.
I think it would require a serious test in an active paper or competitive online environment to truly test its success rate.
Been testing this deck quite a bit... So far, can't find a favorable matchup. Sorry guys, looks like a dead end.
