The reason I want to mirror ponza is because peasant magic isn't quite as cutthroat 
as other formats.  You get to play spells you otherwise wouldn't.  I've always liked 
the Lancer and I really like the new Lancer, Houndmaster.  Play it and see what you 
think.

The plan here is a turn two Molten Rain or Stone Rain.
The rest of the deck plays really simple.  First turn you can either 
Prospector/Bonesplitter/Clamp.  Second turn you either Desperate Ritual and blow up 
a land, or cast and attack with a Lancer or Houndmaster, or play Flunkies.  The Flunkies 
in his deck have little or no drawback.  There's twelve creatures with haste for them to 
team up with.  

The deck is meant to be played a little too fast for decks to deal with after losing 
lands.  The ideal situation would be to destroy a land by turn 2 followed by another on 
turn three.  The Bonesplitter makes the otherwise weak damage of the Lancer and 
Houndmaster turn into quite a powerhouse.  Bolt or Incinerate can clear the way.

I suppose the Prospector could be replaced with Raging Goblin, which is quite good with 
Bonesplitter.  The deck could be changed even further, but then it wouldn't be ponza.  
After sideboard the deck doesn't have so many problems with rush decks.  It could be 
competitive I'm sure.
