At the time this was printed, it was reasonably harmless, you know?
The original duals were gone, the Ice Age pain lands were being played but there was not that much need for them, etc.
Placed into today's environment, this card is just downright evil. One of the few Homelands cards that have aged really well.

Hmm, it is available online, I should make a EDH deck that uses this and cards like ruination.

Primal Order = Scrub Tech
My friend played me with his Standard legal deck and cracked a Misty Rainforest to find that the only 2 Islands in the deck were all ready in play! His response, "thought I had 3 islands in this deck."
I should see how well his deck fairs against one of these with it's 24 non-basic lands.

HOMELANDS IN NOT THE WORST SET. ANYMORE. There, I said it. Now, proof.
Sengir Autocrat With the massive amount of bounce effects and ways to sacrifice, this is now a power house(Hello, Mr. Venser, The Sojourner). Four please.
Leeches. Still the only cure for poison.
Rysorian Badger: Splashable 2/2 That Night Soils creatures for 1 life apiece? Four, please.
Broken Visage: A Splashable black card that simultaneously kills an attacking creature, creates a Shadow token of equal p/t(read the rulings!) Again, FOUR PLEASE.
Wall Of Kelp: With the advent of defender decks, anything that puts out walls w/o taking card slots is ingenious, mandatory. Four of those, too.
And of course, Baron Sengir 'Nuff said 'bout dat fool.
My vote is for Odyssey or Apocalypse(controversial I know, redditors).

One of the best cards in Homelands (hey, stop laughing!). This is a game-ender against a lot of decks.

if you use ruination with it it does no damage though. Try Back to Basics and Price of Progress.

I agree with stygimoloch.
There are a few playable cards in Homelands, this is one of them.

A good Homelands card?
I... I don't know what to believe in anymore...
Is this reason to sideboard Apocalypse Chime?
