Wizards needs to get over themselves and reprint this already.

Run with Terravore and destroy your own lands, then you can bring them back with Crucible of Worlds if you need them! Way better than Tarmagoyf - it gets as big as you want.

They don't have to do anything eventually, sadly. I'll miss it. My first 9th Ed deck was the Mono-
Pre-Con with Wildfire. I can imagine casting that carries a similar feeling to that of Armageddon.
It's been stated pretty openly that Wizards hates LD for the simple reason as it makes the game unfun for new players (read: hurts their bottom line). The little we see anymore is more for tempo disruption, if used at all. Things like Roiling Terrain weren't meant for LD decks but to hose Harrow and Fetchland abuse. It also hurts multicolor control decks that are filled with nonbasics, another thing Wizards hates (hence, Tectonic Edge). But most are pretty bad and never see play, like the ones that are 5+ cost.
I've even tried a Standard Worldslayer deck, supported with a 'Darksteel tribal'. But the obscene costs make it virtually non-competitive wi... (see all)

It's not like its rare or hard to get, and the only format its not legal in is standard (extended doesn't count(does anyone even play extended anymore?))
There are several reasons why wizards decides to reprint a powerful card, chief among them being that if its at all decent there will probably be decks based around it, and they want to foster that deck or deck type for standard. The other reason is that the card is hard to get, and it fits within the flavor, so they reuse it to give people a chance to get the card, and use it.
This fits neither of those 2, so i doubt it will get reprinted anytime soon, if ever.

This has the most artworks out of any card with a whooping 11 pictures, making it literally the most iconic card ever printed.

Honestly I feel like this is begging for a reprint in M13. Utility lands are very prevalent and we desperately need a cheap and easy way to deal with them. Also, I want to be able to build a VIABLE land destruction deck, since the low end for land destruction spells right now is five mana.

Stone Rain I miss you. You're a terribly cheap card on the whole, but I sure would love to see you back in the core sets!

True Story, I once played a monoblue deck against a monored opponent, Turn 3 he cast Stone Rain, I counterspell, called me a cheater. Draw go, Turn 4 he cast Stone Rain, I counterspell, called me another name and said I shouldn't be playing magic. Next turn I cast Storm Crow, he conceded. I won without ever attacking with my Storm Crow.
The moral of the story, Storm Crow is overpowered, even monored players with x4 Stone Rains are afraid of it.
True Story.

That is the last material you want your rain to be made of.
