Latest iteration of my Ponza pile. I'll continue to update this list as the deck changes.
Ideally you'll want 3-4 mana available on turn 2 with something to spend that mana on. While T1 Arbor Elf into T2 Utopia sprawl gives you the most mana, generally it's fine to just play T1 Sprawl for 3 mana on T2 as it's a lot less likely to get removed.Don't be afraid of the Trinisphere - if you get it down on T2-T3, odds are its going to bother the opponent a lot more than it bothers you - just remember to evoke Fury first if you need to clear board.Once you have all of your ramp removed and you finally draw your 3rd land on T5, play Pyromancer or Trinisphere to either get fuel or time. Proceed with the original plan of slowing down your opponent while hoping to draw and play something that actually matters towards winning yourself.Grind it out.

Pillage > Stone Rain. Otherwise cool list!

Heh, entirely forgot about Pillage. Previously I've preferred Stone Rain as the deck's been vastly more green than red and the double red mana always felt a bit clunky - often uncastable if opponent counters my ramp/fix one way or another (I also tend to live on the edge with the number of lands).Maybe I could try it with this iteration though - if nothing else its Fury food should the worst happen to my own mana sources.
Shouldn't be a problem since you have Ignoble Hierarch now. Also Fire-Lit Thicket got reprinted in double masters. Maybe that could help.
Basilisk collar in sb to equip on ballista.
UPDATETook out 2x Tireless Trackers and 1x Stone Rain // added 2x Pillage and 1x Verdant Catacombs.I'll try to hit the next Monday Modern at my local store with this setup, see what happens.
Contemplating on Vraska, Golgari Queen or Nissa of Shadowed Boughs as I already have access to black with the hierarchs and sprawls anyway - Vraska would probably be way more consistent and generally solid (draw + removal), but the potential for dumb things from Nissa has its appeal - also can always go beat with lands if short on threats from draws. But that's a thing for the future, if at all.
Updated the list to how it was in yesterday's modern tourney. 4 rounds, went 2-1-1, lost against a cookbook combo due to drawing nothing but lands and ramp.Pillages not in the list because I keep forgetting to find any from my bulk pile. Obsidian Charmaws and Trinispheres replaced the 4x[Mwonvuli Acid-Moss] I had - I love my Acid-Mosses but I feel they have to make way for early game consistency. Charmaws are leaving the deck, will either put the Pillages there or... Something else. Would love to try Acidic Slime but the format just feels too fast for anything above 3-4 mana, even with the ramp available (too many answers that can exile anything going around...)
