So you're going to phase out your own board to keep lands so you can hold up mana to protect your 3/4?
For the sake of argument I'll avoid poking at flaws specific to Not Dead After All and assume you're using stronger spot protection like Loran's Escape or Restoration Magic (since your choice was ironically very poor given the #1 removal piece in the format being an exile effect).
If you continuously try to play catch-up on someone who's getting multiple uncontested turns with a full mana reserve, you're going to fall behind on tempo and lose the game regardless. Every land you keep to protect Disciple of Caelus Nin is a permanent you're not able to gain tempo with. It's not like you can see someone choosing to keep lands and respond by keeping your own lands either. You have to choose first and telegraph what you have.
