Remember that this land is 6 mana to activate, although i see most people are bagging this land already, but please remember if this land was any cheaper it would be getting close to broken, as 2 damage to a player or planes walker is a fair bit in the grand scheme of things. If a Grixis Control Deck was to happen, with some tri-lands (other wise never), this would be a pretty decent finisher, as milling people can be counter productive.
Definitely the worst of the cycle.

Got it in a fat pack. Feels bad man.

Topdecking doesn't mean you're losing. RDW and now the more common Red/Black direct damage decks usually run out of steam by turn 4-5, sometimes needing just a little push to make it through. This can definitely be it, and it's nearly impossible to answer reliably in standard and modern, save perhaps by Ghost Quarter and similars. All in all, I still like it more than Nephalia Drownyard, because the milling is usually less relevant than 2 damage, specially with so much Phyrexian mana around.

Got 1 of these and a foil one in the same pack and threw the whole thing out the window. Bad juju. Should have given the user 2 life, but that's not red's bag.

So, I managed to win a single booster at the Innistrad pre-relase (thanks to a really good draw), and this was the rare in that booster.
DO NOT WANT! :/
One of the worst rares in the entire set...

A 6 mana shock. Oh my good lord, why. Why? Compared to every other land in this series, why?

Those complaining about the cost have more than likely never actually played with this card.

This card definitely has hidden potential.

Far too overpriced for what it does. Five mana to do just two damage to a player, and not even the possibility to direct the damage to a creature. By the time you can cast up five mana from mixed colours I would hope to be doing something more effective.

Guys, I dont think you realize how good this is. In mid-ranged radakos aggro, when you start running out of steam this can finish you off pretty quick.
I just played a game, got through his onslaught of creatures and burn, with 6 life left. This sucker finished me off in three turns.
