Wow, Hill Giant plus Stone Rain for a 1Red discount. It's a shame that this card has never been reprinted.

I like the text saying "if you're the only one with lands" pushing new players towards land destruction!! Wasn't armageddon printed in this set too?

WOTC, please reprint this as common. With all the Cloudpost decks going around, this would help keep things balanced. LD attached to a creature that can put pressure on the board is SOOOO much better than sorcery LD spells.

Comparing it to Watchwolf I think is bad because Watchwolf was a 2 mana creature. Let's call it the equivalent of approx. {3} for the color-weight? This card is 5 mana in one color.

Calling this 'the Very Best Hill Giant Ever' makes a lot more sense- most of the decks I would play Watchwolf in, I would not play this card. In every conceivable situation I would consider running Hill Giant, even in Giant Tribal in a metagame where an Ogre-Hate card existed, I would play this card instead. In the same colors, for only {1} additional mana you are getting Sinkhole. That kind of value is not appropriate to even be calling it Stone Rain anymore, though it's not really like having a Strip Mine either. It's closer to a Strip Mine than a Stone Rain though.

Oracle changes quite a bit how this card functions. Wouldn't a wording of, "When Ogre Arsonist enters the battlefield, if it was cast from your hand, destroy target land," make it in line with its printed text?

Yes and no. There exists a damn great looking IDW Comic Book Promo (with Ravnica flavor text) of this card:

Remember, if you are the only one with lands, you probably have already won
