4x Snuff Out!

This deck looks pretty good YellowJacket, the only thing I can suggest is Trench Wurm.

Wait, another thing, you might want to look at all the R/B gold cards from Invasion!!!

Hope that helps!

I always feel like I am slating people's decks, I don't mean to I just want to help

Sixteen(16) Land kill is waaay to many, especially when 8 of them have double colour in the casting cost. Usually around 12 is more than enough.
Trench wurm would be a good addition to this deck because it compliments the theme and is of reasonable size to start the clock running on them finding an answer. Also for the times when you are playing against blue, white or green mages (red + black can sometimes remove it for 1 mana) a seismic mage is a good lock out card. Tectonic Break is also a great card in a deck like this because you should be ahead on the land front, so sacrificing some shouldn't be a problem. Earthquake/Cave In should also be considered to remove all the weenies that have managed to make it into play before your LD has kicked in. I don't want to suggest to much because if iI do it looks like i'm totally changing your deck, but I think there are several better choices, mainly the creatures, for cards you have put in your deck. The djinns are likely to be the only creature in play or one of two thus making them smaller, so it would seem more prudent to pick set power/toughness monsters like trench wurm, and Callous Giant cost's the same as a djinn and is big and hard to kill, Hell Tsabo Tavoc only cost's one more and is 7/4 first strike, pro legends, BB tap:kill a legend.
A possible list would be something like
LD - 3Pillage+4 Stone Rain+3 Despoil+2 Tectonic Break (12)
Removal - 4 Snuff Out+4 Seal of Fire+1 Earthquake+1 Cave In+3 Urza's Rage (13) (25 total)
Creatures - 3 Trench Wurm+1 Seismic Mage+2 Thrashing Wumpus+2 Callous Giant (8) (33 total)
Spells - 2 Vampiric Tutor+1 Yawgmoths Agenda+1 Tsabo's Web (4) (37 total)
Land - 4 Sandstone Needle+2 Peat Bog+4 Sulfurous Spring+2 Urborg Volcano+1 Dust Bowl+6 Mountains+5 Swamp (24) (61 total)
Again these are just my thoughts and not neccessarily what should happen, hope I have been of some help.
