When you see this in your draft, don't forget: People will be playing fragile, fragile colour fixes. Add that to the increased efficiency of mill in limited and you've got yourself a decent draft strategy.

I am not a pro, but I notice that it can destroy any land. Great for removing truly annoying RTR lands like Rogue's Passage and Grove of the Guardian (Promo).
The mill part is just a bonus.

Why all the hate? Black doesn't get a whole lot of pure LD these days, and this seems to be at around the typical cost that WotC is setting for cards of that type, even though off-color cards tend to cost more. That's not even all it does! And it's not some poop-on-a-shoe block exclusive effect, like Scorch the Fields. This may be nowhere good but I will give it points for creativity.

I guess you could run it in a deck with Mind Funeral.

If this card is in your deck and you are playing anything but Limited then you're doing something wrong. This is way, way too expensive for LD and way too weak for mill. So you have a card that does two things really poorly but costs enough that it ought to do them very well. No thanks.

Very situational, but would mill decks that thin themselves with Boundless Realms.

Oh, Dimir. Of course "everyone knew" what Ravnica's most secretest of guilds was up to, and even who hired them to do it.
I'm actually glad land destruction is sparse and confined mostly to usefulness in limited; I think the mana system is actually something of a weak point for magic (no matter how skilled the deck builders, a significant percentage of games will be non-games because one side or the other is mana screwed). I think widespread LD is something that would expand on one of the game's least fun areas and reduce the overall experience, but that's just my opinion.

May have some home in a BU mill deck. Stalls while you mill in addition to performing the job your deck wants to accomplish.
Still would never want more than 2 at best.

It's sad that Wizards never prints decent LD.
