@ Mephastopheles: Wheel of Sun and Moon means that cards never hit the graveyard, so this creature wouldn't get any +1/+1 counters. However, it might be nice to use once you've gotten enough lands out into play and want to filter your deck.

"Countryside is on your side."

This guy's practically essential in burn decks, and not just because of his boost ability -- playing him ensures you'll never draw another land, which means you'll be drawing nothing but spells. It's perfect filtering for burn, which rarely runs anything with 4+ mana cost and therefore doesn't need any more land by the time it's topdecking. Crusher effectively turns your potential dead topdecks into +1/+1 counters.

Crusher also works well with the other burn staple creature, Grim Lavamancer, by ensuring you have a well-stocked graveyard to burn through.

I wish Raymond Swanland drew this. Not only because his art is awesome, but because of the synergy this has with red cards drawn by him. For example, take Ruinous Minotaur and Goblin Razerunners.

He also drew Burning Vengeance, and there's a card that has synergy with both this card and Burning Vengeance: Flame Jab.

I've seen decks running nothing but four copies of this and 56 lands. It might be a one-trick pony, but your opponent is going to be in big trouble if he/she doesn't have removal :P

He has the same look and facial expression as Super Macho Man from the Punch-Out!! games.

Only now do I relieve that's a tree that's on fire. For the longest time I thought he was wielding a minigun and that was the muzzle flash.

"CRY SOME MORE!"

I like how he doesnt trash the nonland card. Ensures all your topdecks are nice cards.
