What's that? You're playing Mono Black or Mono Red? How unfortunate for you.

Wow.
This is evil. I hate it already. :(
1) I think very few of the ley lines fit the flavor of what a ley line actually IS. A ley line is a spot of "mystical convergence," where things "come together." That would suggest that leyline cards should do things with your own spells, not be "answers" to your enemies spells like what the one guy said one that one MTG article.
2) I hate cards that destroy an entire deck type. I don't blame them for wanting to take down RDW (its a quite powerful deck type,) but this takes down several, not to mention my Kiln Fiend deck which I have spent much time and effort on.

Admirably fulfills Wizard's Modus Opperandi these days- That is, it hoses most of the budget decks in standard, forcing us to shell out massive amounts of cash for overpriced "Mythic Rares" like Baneslayer and Jace, the Mindsculptor.

Oh, look, I wanted to make a deck, but I auto-scoop to this turn 0.
Oops. :\
As if I didn't hate white enough...
And the worst part is, Standard might not be the only format this card will be strong in.

This card should not have been printed its too dang powerful for a turn 0.

One day, I got tired of my friends using burn and discard on me, and put this in the deck, along with a mark of asylum. The game got boring very quickly.

I arranged an entourage that would play MC Hammer's "Can't touch this" whenever I would open with this.
Just because.

Definitely a better card than I initially gave it credit for. RDW is always an interesting match up due to their speed and ability to use spells as either removal or burn. This gets rid of the burn option, and if you were to have a Firewalker out I'd imagine the only way you'd lose would be possibly Manabarbs - but even then, stick a Baneslayer and you're set.
RG Titan Ramp is pretty popular in standard right now too, and this gets rid of arguably their main win condition (Valakut to the face).
What compounds the awesomeness is that it also protects your PWs from burn. Get a few decent defensive options and watch them go ultimate. >=)

This is by far one of the most un-fun cards i've ever seen. As unfun as gloom or chill. People say it's a RDW hose, and it is, but it also hoses a lot of other decks that don't play W or G, like discard for example. Come to think of it, it dominate any deck that doesn't turn guys sideways to win... ugh... Even if you deal with it... all those turns lost. A lot of decks just can't handle this.

What? It hoses Jace too, along with 90% of the other planeswalkers out there. And since when is Naturalize not "budget"?
EDIT: I cannot tell you how many times I have been beaten to death by Mono Red while having this card on the battle field. As a White Weenie player, the moment I play this my Red-Loving friend just refocuses every single burn spell in his deck at my creatures (including Koth's emblem). Even being un-target-able, the inability to keep a blocker alive for more than a turn means you die to tiny goblins in a big hurry. People complaining about this "hosing Red" are wrong. It merely slows them down.
So I would say, yes it does "Admirably fulfills Wizard's Modus Opperandi these day... (see all)
