can i destroy a land with pooling venom and then move it to a land with aura graft to keep the venom

i know that venom destroys the land its attached to when it resolves but does the enchantment go to graveyard as a result of its resolution or do i have a chance to move it?

i don't think so...but...thought i'd ask

No, you can't. If you wait until the ability of Pooling Venom resolves the Aura will be put in the graveyard before you can do something.

If you move it before the ability resolves, it'll just destroy the new land and the Aura will be put in the graveyard too.

The only thing that can work is bouncing the Venom in response to the ability. The game will use Last Known Information (LKI) to figure out what the 'enchanted land' is and will destroy the land, even if the Venom is no longer enchanting it (or in play).
