While looking through green white legends I stumbled across Torsten and was immediately enchanted by his flavour text. I'm seeking ideas to support a green white 'punisher' style deck, where I do evil things and the declare that it is the good of all :).
Mass land destruction, hate bears, damage to everyone, it's all good! (Or good shall follow at the very least).
Obviously this will be (by and large) a good stuff deck as the general will offer nothing more than a 5/5 beat stick. Yes I know he's awful when compared to Sigarda, Host of Herons, but that flavour text!
Ideas? Please help me find the punishment in a colour combination which tends not to.
You might take a look at my Jasmine list. It doesn't quite have the punishment themes you're after (no MLD, etc) but it runs a lot of hate cards. It's definitely an enchantress list, so you can ignore that part, but you might find a few good ideas for ways to shut people down.
Vaguely similar generals, too.

If I go for lots of land destruction then my curve is going to have to be pretty low and these big splashy plays won't work, but it will probably be more punishing.
Apart from Kamahl and Elesh Norn are their ways I can destroy all opponents' lands?

You might be able to do obnoxious stuff with a GW soldier deck. You could run Meekstone and similar effects to keep the other players' creatures locked along with Loxodon Gatekeeper or Glare of Subdual + Patrol Signaler to tap it down.
Loading up on Kithkin/soldier tokens is also an easy way to feed the assorted stax sacrifice elements.

I was looking at Mobilization because Torsten is a soldier, also effects like Kismet seek pretty good.
So says Torsten Von Ursus!

They're both overcosted G/W vanilla legends from Legends.
hurricane does damage to everyone
suppression field, hum of the radix, magus of the tabernacle are also pretty rude
Niv-Mizzet Ramp 'n' Wheel
Godo: Strap him up and turn him sideways!
Things like Iona, Terastodon, Woodfall Primus, Sylvan Primordial, Luminate Primordial that have large splashy effects combined with recursion such as Karmic Guide, Reya Dawnbringer and Emeria, the Sky Ruin and ramp like Boundless Realms. Is that punisher enough?

Urborg. + kormus bell can backup for kamahl,
crovax, hero ascendant can backup for elesh.
With urborg, you can also run karma.

I guess with Urborg and Kormus Bell I can also use Linvala so people can't tap their lands for mana.
Does Stony Silence or Null Rod do the same thing with Mycosynth Lattice? This also shuts down my mana though which isn't ideal.
Yes, it works. None of those abilities except mana abilities.

Just clarifying, Null Rod + Mycosynth Lattice = no one can tap (activate) anything for mana?

Lots of great ideas thanks all, keep them coming
Null Rod: 10/4/2004: Does affect mana abilities of artifacts.
So yeah, no tappys for mana.

I'm wondering if you can get around this with mana generated from triggered abilities...
Eladamri's Vineyard spring to mind, although giving people extra mana after denying them use of their lands is a bit redundant.
Carpet of Flowers is the only other colour appropriate card I can think of before a gatherer search.
Braid of Fire and Black Market might be good in other decks seeking to abuse Null Rod + Mycosynth Lattice.
