Couldn't we get Goblin Setter instead of this?

Seriously guys? Stone Rain for 3R? Sooner or later they'll be prinding LLanowar Elves for 1G, Oblivion Ring for 3W and Doom Blade for 2B because you should pay arbitrarily high costs for things you know you could normally be getting cheaper.
and this in a set where they reprinted RANCOR and DURESS!? Rancor hasn't been printed since Urz block because it's "too good" and Duress is Duress. How is Stone Rain too broken but Duress isn't? This is why I don't play anymore

I think this is quite funny!
I think they are trying to compensate for the shuffler mana screws in MTGO. Oh you are running 23 land in your 60 card deck? Lets give you 1 land in your opening hand (with all the best cards in your deck cc 3 or higher), none in your first mulligan, 1 in your second mulligan (with none of the cards you need) and then just for fun we will give you 3 land in your final mulligan (out of your remaining 4 cards and the remaining card will be a llanowar elf or something equally as exciting with no other playables in hand).
Should have kept your first hand and took a chance huh? You knew that the lowest land destruction was 4 casting cost. What were you thinking? haha

Awkward name for a card.

I love the art on this card. And I was never around when Stone Rain was out, so 4cmc seems standard LD for me. I dunno, I like it.

Because Demolish, which you reprinted in the previous block, was far, FAR too powerful. Of course.
I'm fine with LD never being below 4 cmc so long as you make it INTERESTING. I'm perfectly willing to admit that Stone Rain is too powerful, that's fine by me. I'm perfectly willing to admit that Pillage was broken as all hell, I'm with you there. But printing blatantly shit cards? Just...no. Don't do it. It never goes down well with anyone, has never prevented power creep, and just leaves a sour taste in everyone's mouths. You're cutting down trees for your arrogance, guys. Making cards no one will ever play does not improve the game ever. For any reason.

Strictly worse than Pain // Suffering. When a card is functionally identical to half of a split card that was printed before it, that's a bit of a problem. Come on, Wizards. Just give us Stone Rain already. We haven't gotten it since 9th Edition...
