Hahaha, how is this effect in color? XD
It's like some early designer was making up for all the trouble Boil was going to give blue players in the years to come by giving blue a way to just wreck red's board.

Why not play this as a win condition in a blue/red draw/burn deck? As long as you're up on your opp at the end of the game, tap your mountains then use this to destroy them & the damage gets done. Could be decent.

I don't know. It feels like the quintessential red card, except that it blows up mountains. Perhaps they thought that hosing an enemy color was enough to jusitfy the flavor.

Well, you know, lots of islands are caused by volcanic activity. So... There.

It's relieving to see card art that's color palette doesn't doesn't contain the mana color of the card.

The first ruling says: "Can be used with X equal to zero. This is useful if no Mountains are on the battlefield." I get how X can be zero, but I don't get how this is at all useful if X is zero.

R&D "Balanced" the Color Pie back in the day by doing this, Boil, and there was totally a Green effect that wrecked the tar out of Islands, but I forget it's name.
It was an arms race to see who cast their Color-Specific Godzilla at each other first. :P
"Alpha Eldrazi Blue", "Alpha Eldrazi Red", "Alpha Eldrazi Green"
Cast Alpha Eldrazi (color) only if your opponent is playing that color.
When Alpha Eldrazi enters the battlefield, rape that color.
I don't remember if White and Black really did this as badly. Oh sure, there was Color-Hate in all 5 colors, but it seems Black Knight and White Knight were in general a lot more balanced about this than Animar was.

This card can destroy a red opponent's board with enough mana.
