Why play Ponza? Because you've been Karn'ed or Ugin'ed too many times.... enjoy the terror invoked by all Human's players... or you want to hatebear your FNM rich boy club with their fancy fetches and shock lands with Blood Moon . Or you really just like Homestar Runner's signature rift... "Burninating the Countryside Burninating the Peasants"

This list in particular was inspired by Noah Kravitz in his two top-8 modern finishes in June of 2018.

Key changes from popular Ponza lists:

Mainboard: Chandra, Torch of Defiance get the card draw. Take the game down with exiling cards until you ultimate then smash 'em in the face for every spell cast. Garruk Wildspeaker get the mana! Seriously... how cool is it to play multiple walkers on a single turn! Chandra, Flamecaller fast Elementals to the face!

Sideboard: Trinisphere is for Burn on the play or other 1 mana dorks (Cheerios, Affinity, Infect, Elves, Goblins). It hoses combo (KCI, Grisel, Storm) and disrupts Hollow One.

Packages: 1x Ancient Grudge 2x Abrade 1x Fracturing Gust (This is the only unique card here)

2x Anger of the Gods instead of 3. I like Primal Command to bring back what I want as a utility over a 3 spot here.

1x Beast Within + Surgical Extraction is great against Death's Shadow
