They don't think LD is fun? Im sure half of the best meta deck's aren't fun. You lose a lot of fun when you go for wins only. They really shouldn't have nerfed LD past usability when none of the best decks use it, especially going into M13.

Well, we couldn't expect Tectonic Rift back after it completely broke standard in M12.

The Chandra quote is absolutely awesome, except for the fact that it was wasted on a 13th pick draft card that will never be played.
I suppose I should be thankful to not have played when Roiling Terrain was in Standard, because then I'd feel really gypped right now.
I do also know that Stone Rain exists. I just don't want to point it out (like how everyone has)

What's the point of this when they just reprinted Demolish in Avacyn Restored? Even if you're really desperate for some standard legal land destruction, you're not going to use this when there's a strictly better version available.
The name and flavor text are nice though.

Strictly worse than:
Stone Rain, Avalanche Riders, Demolish, Dwarven Landslide, Earth Rift, Flowstone Flood, Goblin Settler, Lay Waste, Pain/Suffering, Tectonic Rift, Touch and Go

First card I ever gave a .5 rating too. I'm disappointed this card even exists.

Yes. LD became a very "un-fun" deck type to play against. Stone Rain was NOT the problem. The problem was Stone Rain + Strip Mine + Sinkhole + Lay Waste + Molten Rain + Ice Storm + Wreck Havok + Dwaven Driller, etc, etc. ONE decent Land Destruction card WON'T break the format. Reprint Stone Rain.

The nonbasic lands keep getting stronger and the land destruction keeps getting weaker. Would a red card that cost 1R and said 'Destroy target nonbasic land' really be that overpowered? I mean, nonbasic lands generally ought to be fair game for removal.

Alongside Acidic slime, this is needed for the hard to remove lands that are popular such as inkmoth nexus, the various innistrad utility lands, and now the one that gives exalted. The expensive cost and low versitility compared to older versions (pillage etc.) means it won't be used unless the players are really desperate though.
