The opener. Reminds me of old school RBG stone rain, sinkhole, strip mine, the unlimited green land destruction card n then eventually thermokarst added except chandra and kogla were ernham and juzam
Ponza is really good at modern rn It shreds tron (land destruction, magus of the moon) It overwhelms death's shadow decks (as it can apply tons of pressure and they're already at low hp cuz of shadow) It is also pretty good vs jund
I could have used this the other day for my Gruul Aggro pump deck. Literally lost two rounds or more to infect. Just Inkmoth Nexus + little slip cards like blossoming defense or pump spells that used life instead of mana. Thank you for helping me maybe stand against that next time.
Great deck, LVD! I quit Arena after playing since closed beta, tired of the client, economy and overall horrible management of everything, but this is the kind of deck I'd want to try out. I'm a huge believer that with the ridiculous ramp tools printed in the last few years, LD is a much needed archetype. Hopefully we get more tools for a competitive Bo3 build.
Taking a 2 Mana-Ramp-Card over Mindstone ? Who are you and what have you done to LVD ? But seriously, I love your videos, the intros and look forward to your next one !
At 36:46 you destroyed the Hagra Mauling. A basis swamp would have been better, because the second chapter of Waking the Trolls does not get back double faced spells.

What's the word for when you experience something that is drastically different to the standard? Because that's what describes hearing Chandra going "Time to roast some marshmallows!" In a LVD video LUL
Oh my gosh that opener was the best! hahaha. I was like, "wait, the crescendo of the music at the start of the match?.. Do they concede?" Also, did you consider Terravore as an option for the deck as a cheap heavy hitter?
@@jerodast They are better, on average. I mean, would you spend a mythic wildcard on a 2/2 bear for 2 mana with no text? Obviously not. But you would spend it on 2/2 haste with reach that potentially draws you a card. Rares and mythics are obviously better (on average) than non rare/mythic cards. There are obviously exceptions (many uncommons are better than some rares), but in general this rule holds. MA rares definitely deserve rare WCs more than average rares in the current sets, so it makes sense that they were printed as rares.
"The deck is named after the Ponza Rotta, a deep fried calzone from Jimmy's Grotto, and features cheese (burn), meat (big creatures) and sauce (land destruction)."
It's bad news for someone when the Intro is the entirety of Match 1
I can relate. A few days ago i got my turn one sol ring stolen by a commandeer. Must be fun on the other side.
I never thought I'd live to see the Mtga Any% Glitchless run being done so perfectly
Match 3 and 7 were both the same guy haha.
Great video as always :)
turn 2 land destruction on the play has to be the biggest bm possible lol
Honestly, even if I was handed this deck for free I wouldn’t play it lmao
Especially in BO1
Well considering that turn 2 Koma is a thing, I guess that's just the world we live in now.
I think land destruction is evil, but when an opponent plays a dimir identity land, I make an exception
I knew I played you today.
There is just no coming back from this start :(
Lol, I'm safe playing on silver :D
@@santyricon That was in Play queue.
@@tmGrunty I expect not to face him then :'(
Salting the earth with your opponent's tears.
I absolutely love land destruction. Stick it to em, them control players. This is REAL control.

EviLVD was at the computer when making this one and the sawtooth demolisher deck
This deck is just BRUTAL!
LVD : "So waking the trolls would be our best drop by far"
MTGA Shuffler : "Agreed"
Please teach me that LVD ^^
You must appease the machine spirit.
Blood sacrifice to Richard Garfield
That guy with the life gain deck got his day ruined twice! 🤣
Remember when Mwonvuli Acid-Moss was banned in Magic Duels? Pepperidge farm remembers.
I feel like I do, but it is a distant memory shrouded by the sands of time.
that intro though KEKW
What a relentless deck, not often seen from you. I like it!
Never thought magic can be SPEEDRUN-ed
What do you mean turn one crab back in the day was insta scooped
You also have tibalts trickery on turn 2 in standard.
Ponza! Always loved playin it in modern, will have to put this together.
Ponza is really good at modern rn
It shreds tron (land destruction, magus of the moon)
It overwhelms death's shadow decks (as it can apply tons of pressure and they're already at low hp cuz of shadow)
It is also pretty good vs jund
The top decks in this game were so on point. Love the vids Mr. LVD
For some reason Glorybringer gives me flashbacks to the Duels days. Ah the good old days.
I could have used this the other day for my Gruul Aggro pump deck. Literally lost two rounds or more to infect. Just Inkmoth Nexus + little slip cards like blossoming defense or pump spells that used life instead of mana. Thank you for helping me maybe stand against that next time.
Great deck!!
Love the deck,vid and you LVD!!
Now THIS is what I'm talking about!
Love the deck. Love watching it work too. I always play stone rain against ramp decks. No fun. Great video though
The seventh match was so exiting😂

33:30 You could say... you sent them back to the stone age.
Taking a 2 Mana-Ramp-Card over Mindstone ?
Who are you and what have you done to LVD ?
But seriously, I love your videos, the intros and look forward to your next one !
Leave it to land destruction to rain on an opponents parade
At 36:46 you destroyed the Hagra Mauling. A basis swamp would have been better, because the second chapter of Waking the Trolls does not get back double faced spells.
Anyone else plays this deck, they're just mean. LVD plays this deck... joyous!
this deck is evil
Best intro yet lmao
wow, this is almost card for card the Ponza list I came up with.
nvm i didn't see the janky 6 drops lmao
Whahaha that was the best taster ever 😂😂
Making me want to make this in paper c:
Pretty filthy deck
Not saying they're likely to have it, but Declaration in Stone would've been pretty rough at 12:42.
Good point, haven't seen it cast yet.
I wish I could become a Patreon of yours, quite nice videos you offer us day after day
Truly believe standard is in need of land hate. Its my favorite deck
Comment for the algorithm
Same mono White lifegain player two times! Poor guy.
stone rain on turn 2 every game is a good deck?
Fighting toxic decs with higher toxicity, are we back in early 2000??
If i use a deck like this, i never gona draw the stone rain and llanowar elf in the opening hand, this game love pissing me off.
Needs more Mwonvuli Acid-Moss.
Banned in Duels 😂

Disgusting.
I love it.
What do you think of Sawtusk Demolisher Ponza style? Would it fit into this deck?
It's an option, although we're a little light on Mutate enablers. I liked it better in a more dedicated Mutate deck featured a while back.
MASTERPIECE INTRO!!!!!!!!! Aahahhahahahahahah
wait in game 1 does he have the same cards by turn 2 as in the intro with few exceptions like order of cards drawn and a land?
oh its actually already match 2, the intro was already a full match lmao
You love to see it
I just found this deck a year late. Is it still viable in this izzet phoenix meta?
What's the word for when you experience something that is drastically different to the standard?
Because that's what describes hearing Chandra going "Time to roast some marshmallows!" In a LVD video LUL
I like to play Goblin Ruinblaster in this Deck. More Land Destruction and comes with haste against annoying Planeswalker
It's definitely an option, although there are a few decks with mostly basic lands.
@@LegenVD Also Gilded Goose for more 1 Drops and Sawtusk Demolisher. But for that I have no room for trolls :(
Gruul? More like Cruel
Oh my gosh that opener was the best! hahaha. I was like, "wait, the crescendo of the music at the start of the match?.. Do they concede?" Also, did you consider Terravore as an option for the deck as a cheap heavy hitter?
Terravore is more of a combo with mill effects than land destruction.
And some people complained that Stone rain isn't good enough to be printed as rare...
Woah woah I heard that rares are no better than other cards anyway

Why are land destruction decks called Ponza?🪨
"The deck is named after the Ponza Rotta, a deep fried calzone from Jimmy's Grotto, and features cheese (burn), meat (big creatures) and sauce (land destruction)."
I usually hate land destruction in general... But since my friend started playing exclusively a valakut deck, I changed my mind
keep it up
2 turn win!!!
Does the 6/6 mutate card not fit in here? seems like good redundancy.
It's an option, although we're a little light on Mutate enablers. I liked it better in a more dedicated Mutate deck featured a while back.
41 seconds ago, let's goooo
I was hoping for a deck even more focused on land destruction
The deck you don't wanna play against.
Best of 1's are not matches, they are games. Matches are a set of games.
Beating twice the same opponent, auch.
I feel Ponza vibes here
Man, turn 1 Llanwar elves, turn 2 stone rain makes this Old School player cry
I felt that oof lvd 🤣
I felt like a bully just by watching match 7
Leasgooooo
Poor Ordenador Ro got hit twice by this deck.
I love me some land hate
Aaaah land destruction. What is worse than having everything you play countered and destroyed? Not being able to play anything whatsoever ofc. :D
oh hey i played vs this deck, i countered it with a thief of dreams or wtf that 1bb flier is called
Meanie! This isn't you LVD!!
I love/hate that I recognized that intro song from the Animaniacs. I don't even know its real name.
why would you hate the fact you recognized a song from a cartoon everyone watched as kids
Bump
This is just evil...
Hello 🙂
Green has too many busted or overtuned cards
land destruction still considered a dick move?
Yo
"match 1" lmao
Need a sideboard
It’s Bo1 and he has no sideboard fetching cards in main deck. A sideboard is virtually useless, why would he want one.
@@griffinlathrop because i play bo3 only, like a try competitive mtg
