Each Time Spiral card was an homage to at least one previously printed card.
Some were simple riffs on classic cards but utilizing a mechanic brought back for this set. This card references Stone Rain, costing twice as much but presumably destroying at least twice as many lands!

Normally you'd finish somebody with a storm chain. I bet this just makes them angry

Less deadly than Tendrils of Agony, but much more fun to play. :)

Much easier to cast with Manamorphose and Seething Song.

Claws of Gix, Bone Saw, Herbal Poultice, ect., lol seven of your lands are destroyed.

Mill is absolutely nothing like the others listed, because it's essentially just a different life total, and milling in no way inhibits your ability to play the game.

This card is actually really good if you play Sliver tribal. If you have the mana to play this after playing 6 or 7 slivers in one turn, you can basically set up a next turn win. You'd probably need a training grounds, and the overlord, but still.

@ Thaxan_Number_14:
Land Death doesn't win games so much as it makes it so your opponent can't play. It's like Stasis, Mill, and Discard. The Four Horsemen of Apocalypse Magic.
@ Henrietta:
Those mill decks are doing it wrong. I mean the kind of mill deck that uses Grindstone + Painter's Servant, or spams Archive Trap and Twincasts.

@Henrietta: Unless, of course, someone happens to mill a card you need, like mill was ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO DO.
