I think the original card wording, while not "Magic"-y, makes more sense. Also some great flavour. I agree with EvilCleavage that more things like this would be cool. Say, lands that product mana but also fundamentally alter the combat structure statically ("All creatures lose first strike and/or trample" in a thick forest, for example).

"Kelrath - too long, did not read."
but you make a comment telling us how you didn't read it and in that same time you could have read the card and realized how amazing it is

@ Gossgoat: you rated it 3/5. That's "cool" to you? You do realize that's only a 60% right? Good thing you didn't think it sucked I guess lol sorry to pick on you but failing isn't "cool" where I come from. Give the card a break, they can't ALL be Mind Sculptors!

Cool card, basically splits the battlefield in 2. Ironic that it is red, since it is probably most helpful to decks that feature a lot of flyers.
3/5

>What happens if you control two of these?
Two Raging Rivers "cancel out" each other, because:
Player with two of these attacks, the ability goes on the stack twice.
Defending player takes all its creatures and divides them into two piles with labels "left" and "right".
Attacking player chooses "left" or "right" for each attacking creature. (Effect lasts until end of combat.)
Defending player takes all its creatures (the two piles with labels "left" and "right" now cease to exist) and divides them into two piles with labels "left" and "right".
Attacking player chooses "left" or "right" for each attacking creature. (Stacks with the previous choice.)
Blocking takes place based on the first and second distribution by the attacking player, and second distribution by the blocking player.
If an attacking player would name both "left" and "right" for an attacking creature, it would be blockable by creatures from both piles (meaning normal... (see all)

Although I haven't tried it yet, I am looking forward to building a mono-red deck with this card. I think it'll be very fun to see how the splitting decisions play out. I imagine it will take some time to discover actual advantages for my attackers but I am hopeful.
