SnowBunny, I can understand the desire to want to reign in decks that abuse ramp to get way ahead of the rest of the table, but MLD doesn't do what you think it does against green turbo ramp decks. It's not like you just destroy all the lands they stall out. The problem is that these green decks are loadoing their decks with ramp so once they get lucky and top deck 2 or 3 lands, they can quickly recover with ramp spells they still have in hand or topdeck. When you MLD to reset a green deck, you're probably just making them win anyway, unless soembody has a huge field advanatge over them, because they will recover quicker.
The best way to reign in a deck like Asuza is to play a heavy blue control deck with many counterspells. You can just counter their t3 Azusa with a 2 mana counter to slow them down. It's also possible to just let all their ramp spells resolve and then counter every relevant card they play.
WWIW, I think it's always bad form to play MLD.
