I don't know if people already put this together, but I haven't been able to find any lists, so here it is. I've figured out that the Hideaway lands not only have individual creatures associated with them, but they have so many obvious combos that you could practically build decks around the Hideaway themes.
[btw, mana symbols are missing]
Howltooth HOLLOW Land Hideaway (This land comes into play tapped. When it does, look at the top four cards of your library, remove one from the game face down, then put the rest on the bottom of your library.)
: Add to your mana pool.
, : You may play the removed card without paying its mana cost if each player has
no cards in hand.
HOLLOWborn Barghest Creature - Demon Hound At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have
no cards in hand, each opponent loses 2 life.
At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, if that player has
no cards in hand, he or she loses 2 life. 7 6
Support:
TideHOLLOW Sculler Artifact Creature - Zombie When Tidehollow Sculler comes into play, target opponent reveals his or her hand and you choose a nonland card from it.
Remove that card from the game.
When Tidehollow Sculler leaves play, return the removed card to its owner's hand. 2 2
Tidehollow Strix Artifact Creature - Bird Flying
Deathtouch (Whenever this creature deals damage to a creature, destroy that creature.) 2 1 [I'm not sure about this one, but it is nice. Needs first-strike or toughness though.]
HOLLOWsage Creature - Merfolk Wizard Whenever Hollowsage becomes untapped, you may have target player
discard a card. 2 2
Nyxathid 1BB Creature - Elemental As Nyxathid comes into play, choose an opponent.
Nyxathid gets -1/-1 for each card in the chosen player's hand. 7 7
Rotting Rats Creature - Zombie Rat When Rotting Rats comes into play, each player discards a card. Unearth
Cunning Lethemancer Creature - Human Wizard At the beginning of your upkeep, each player discards a card.

MOSSwort Bridge Land Hideaway (This land comes into play tapped. When it does, look at the top four cards of your library, remove one from the game face down, then put the rest on the bottom of your library.)
: Add to your mana pool.
, : You may play the removed card without paying its mana cost if creatures you control have total
power 10 or greater.
MOSSbridge Troll Creature - Troll If Mossbridge Troll would be destroyed, regenerate it. Tap any number of untapped creatures you control other than Mossbridge Troll with total
power 10 or greater: Mossbridge Troll gets +20/+20 until end of turn. 5 5
Support:
MOSStodon Creature - Plant Elephant : Target creature with
power 5 or greater gains trample until end of turn. 5 3
As a pauper, I am so glad Rite of Consumption is a common.

Blue was a bit harder to piece together.
Shelldock
Isle Land Hideaway (This land comes into play tapped. When it does, look at the top four cards of your library, remove one from the game face down, then put the rest on the bottom of your library.)
: Add to your mana pool.
, : You may play the removed card without paying its mana cost if a
library has twenty or fewer cards in it.
Isleback Spawn Creature - Kraken Shroud Isleback Spawn gets +4/+8 as long as a
library has twenty or fewer cards in it. 4 8
I couldn't find anything else with isle or spawn or shell in the name which seemed relevant, so I just started to list all the millers until I found something interesting.
Memory Sluice
Cathartic Adept
Drowner Initiate
Merrow Witsniper
Ink Dissolver
Research the Deep
Grimoire Thief
Drowner of Secrets
Ambassador Laquatus
Jace Beleren Planeswalker - Jace
[+2]: Each player draws a card.
[-1]: Target player draws a card.
[-10]: Target player puts the
top twenty cards of his or her library into his or her graveyard. 3
BING!
Although there are plenty of nice millers which can probably get the job done just as fast.
I'll probably revist this combo later, because I sense something big lurking beneath the surface. Maybe MANY big things lurking ALL OVER. ;)

Here's an interesting one. :)
Spinerock KNOLL Land Hideaway (This land comes into play tapped. When it does, look at the top four cards of your library, remove one from the game face down, then put the rest on the bottom of your library.)
: Add to your mana pool.
, : You may play the removed card without paying its mana cost if an opponent was dealt
7 or more damage this turn.
KNOLLspine Dragon 5RR
[7] Creature - Dragon Flying
When Knollspine Dragon comes into play, you may
discard your hand and draw cards equal to the
damage dealt to target opponent this turn.
7 5
Support:
KNOLLspine Invocation 1rr Enchantment , Discard a card with
converted mana cost X [7!]: Knollspine Invocation deals
X[7!] damage to target creature or player.
Arbiter of KNOLLridge 6W
[7] Creature - Giant Wizard Vigilance
When Arbiter of Knollridge comes into play, each player's life total becomes the highest life total among all players. 5 5
All those were found when I looked for "Knoll". I thought I'd look for spells which did seven damage, so I looked for all the cards in Standard which had the word seven in them and how many were there?
Seven! Starting with...
Stomping Slabs 2r Sorcery Reveal the top
seven cards of your library, then put those cards on the bottom of your library in any order. If a card named Stomping Slabs was revealed this way, Stomping Slabs deals
7 damage to target creature or player.
...and ending with...
Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker Planeswalker - Bolas +3: Destroy target noncreature permanent.
-2: Gain control of target creature.
-9: Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker deals
7 damage to target player. That player discards
seven cards, then sacrifices
seven permanents.
Malkovich Malkovich Malkovich. MALKOVICH!
I decided to look for other 7 Power creatures which cost 7 Mana, to use with Knollspine Invocation: Loamdragger Giant, Dusdale Wurm, and...
Hollowborn Barghest Creature - Demon Hound At the beginning of your upkeep, if you have
no cards in hand, each opponent loses 2 life.
At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, if that player has
no cards in hand, he or she loses 2 life. 7 6 [Works well with Knollspine Invocation's discard. Maybe a Hollow/Knoll deck could work.]
How about just 7 power?
Nyxathid 1BB Creature - Elemental As Nyxathid comes into play, choose an opponent.
Nyxathid gets -1/-1 for each card in the chosen player's hand. 7 7
How convenient. :) Add Raven's Crime and Flame Jab for cheap discard to trigger HowlTooth Hollow. Knollspine Invocation, Hollowborn Barghest, Nyxathid(+Rite of Consumption/Soul's Fire?), Stomping Slabs, and Flame Jab, trigger Spinerock Knoll as well as do massive amounts of damage.

Windbrisk Heights Land Hideaway (This land comes into play tapped. When it does, look at the top four cards of your library, remove one from the game face down, then put the rest on the bottom of your library.)

Windbrisk Raptor Creature - Bird Flying
