Wizards will probably troll us by putting Strip Mine and Counterspell in the same Standard Legal set as a whole bunch of Darksteel Citadels and Cavern of Souls >.< If I were MaRo, I suggest those 4 cards at Mythic Rare every time I sat down to Design a set.
"Hey- you know what would sell booster packs? These 4 Mythics...."
Which kind of ass hole would you prefer to be? Cavern of Souls-guy, or Strip Mine-guy? :)
I just want to see how many towns you guys would set on fire, really...XD

Almost as good as Wasteland, almost.

In current Standard, it's basically 95% as good as a wasteland as many lands will be played; and some of those lands will most likely be non-basic. About the only thing about this card worse then Wasteland (in current Standard at least) is the extra 1 mana it costs to activate; but lets face it, wasteland is broken; it's $50 each right now; and will NEVER EVER EVER be reprinted in any way outside of very limited promos (they have only made two promos, and was very difficult to get even then because you had to send off for the card via player rewards or for being a major event Judge).

The power level is right with the current standard. Older players are spoiled. I remember the days of Strip mine, and Wasteland. The good old days.

Agree with DarthKithkin, Wasteland is much better. By the time you get rid of a non-basic (if the other player has any), they control 4 or more lands anyway... and you still have to pay {1} and {T} and Sacrifice this to do it. Very lame card Worldwake! Should be a sorried common and nothing more.

This is vicious... I love killing off Eye of Ugin or a Celestial Collonade.
Just because worldwake rocks doesn't mean it can't take care of its own lands. So, again...
CAN'T FIGHT THE WORLDWAKE POWER!!!!!!!!!!

This with a playset of Wasteland, even just 1 of them or a pair of them, is insane. In Worldwake I was hoping, almost praying for some decent Land destruction like Sinkhole I know that will probably never happen but expect this card to exceed $10 in a few years. I see no reason why this won't be a sideboard staple in Legacy. Do you hate your friend's ISOCHRON SCEPTER.dec? Play this.

Gives every color a way of dealing with problem lands. Sideboard staple.

Great card with all of the hybrid lands and specials running around right now. Tho it will probably see a decline in use with later sets...

While this card is not as efficient as Wasteland, the price on this card will go up a little simply because Wasteland has not been reprinted. I expect this card to see some use, although in Legacy, Wasteland will be preferred.
It is definitely designed to destroy the man-lands in Worldwake. Unless your opponent is using non-land mana, your opponent will most likely get to four lands.
