This card is not amazing but it also isn't worth 0.5 stars.
It's decent LD, and I think it's pretty notable with Cavern of Souls still in standard (although there is still better LD.)
Just because there's better of something doesn't mean that it can't be good.
Every creature in magic isn't bad because Emrakul exists.
Every planeswalker isn't bad because Jace the Mind Sculptor exists.
Every counterspell isn't bad because Counterspell exists.
Every burn spell isn't bad because Bonfire exists.
I like the flavor text, too.

It isn't that stone rain was too good. Land destruction decks are just that lame.

I think that one developer at Wizards is just trolling Standard. The one who made Archangel's Light, Grounded, Defensive Stance, Heavy Mattock, Angel's Mercy etc.
Now, Wizards defends themselves by saying bad cards make good cards good, and to some extent I understand that (Even if I hate it). But honestly, when the Hell am I ever going to need a Stone Rain for one more, a card for two that wastes a card slot making something lose Flying, a 3 mana equip that for two mana gives +2/+2 to a human, +1/+1 to anything else, etcetera.
Wizards, stop sucking at card design.

I love coming to newer LD cards and hearing the outcry of "BRING BACK STONE RAIN GURGLBLURG." Granted, Stone rain is better. I'd rather run it than Craterize. But Craterize is what I pulled, and Craterize killed my opponent's Cathedral of War. My $.25 card beat his. I have a sense of grim satisfaction from this.

Dear Wizards,
If you don't want me to play land destruction, you can just not make cards that destroy land. You don't need to make awful cards to keep me from doing it.

Land destruction is land destruction. I will still gladly pay the 4 mana to destroy somebody's land and love it.

Final proof Jaya Ballard is better than Chandra.
