Video Mtg Deck Tech: R/G Land Destruction in Modern!

Believe it or not, Land Destruction in Modern is very, very real. A turn-2 Stone Rain on the play can put most decks on their back foot, and if we can follow that up with a Mwonvuli Acid Moss next turn, we can virtually guarantee ourselves a wide opening in which to play Inferno Titan to quickly finish the game. The deck is even capable of making 4 mana on turn 2 with Uptopia Sprawl and Arbor Elf! Playing a turn 2 Blood Moon and picking off basics with land destruction spells basically shuts your opponent completely out of the game before they've even played their second land! And if the opponent gets a slow start or makes a bad mulliganing decision, it ofetn results in a super-easy win for us.
