As someone who generally gets annoyed when good art is wasted on bad cards, this card makes me rage like no other.

Seriously, WotC, what happened here?
Okay, we get the idea that targeted land destruction should not be a viable path to victory because it is boring and locks one side out of the game. But why 4R for a card that basically has no secondary effect? Are we forgetting that for one more red mana you can deal 13 damage to any creature and blast the land, too? Yeesh...
And why does the damage only affect Humans? Are they unusually combustible in Innistrad? If this silly card did 1 damage to all creatures it would make a lot more sense and maybe even be useful in Limited.
Waste of glorious artwork on a horrible card.

BURN, FLAMMABLE LITTLE INSECT, BUUUUURN!
well, for burning token-mad opponents, Rolling Temblor does job way better.

Apparently, the dragon is being extremely racist to only torch on living puny humans and not any of the humanoids on Innistrad...
That said, I missed the good old LD.

5 Mana!? All of these good dual lands out and even Demolish is just too good!? What a scam.

This card is a missprint. It should have said "Destroy target Gavony Township/Moorland haunt. Make sure that UW or GW Humans are answerable in Standard"
Its hard to value a card like this, but its certainly not worthless. Id say 1,5/5, but if Humans see play, this will see sideboard.

Yet another terrible land destruction card. There was Victorious Destruction, then Maw of the Mire, and now this...

I understand that Wizards has to print cards that support the "theme," and that they want to print cards that don't affect older formats, but come on. It could have dealt one damage to the "creature type of your choice" and it still would have been a little to expensive for what it does,

@ Yamas: it only affects humans I guess because humans are dependent on the crops from the fields getting burned.
Would have been better and more consistent with flavour (if not the colour pie) if it gave a -1/-1 counter to all humans instead (their fields are gone so they're weaker). And cost 3R rather than 4R. Then it might actually be a decent sideboard against monowhite humans.
