Yes, mass land destruction can be evil. But if that's all it takes for your friends to be gutting your deck, maybe you need to be reconsidering things.
Maybe you're being hated against so much because your deck isn't fair. It might be that they're resorting to this card just to try and keep up with you. Are you using some insane combo that's way above the power level of your friends' decks? Or did your friend just start playing Magic, while you insist on using your best cards against their fledgling collection of a few dozen commons and uncommons (as it was when I first started and one of my friends insisted on using his playset of Strip Mines and Jace, the Mind Sculptors). Either consider toning down your deck, or help your group up their game so that you're all on a similar level.
Or perhaps, as Kryptnyt says, you've become too predictable to your playgroup so they know exactly what hate to run against you. Why not try branching out more ... (see all)

I actually love this card. Playing casual with ridiculous hate cards throws the game completely up in the air and gives Timmies and noobs alike the chance to beat up on experienced players.

When I first got into Magic I never really thought of blue and green as enemy colors and probably would never have unless the manual told it to me. They simply didn't interact with each other on a level that blue and red or green and black did. Of course, it didn't help that for the longest time most of what green could do to hose blue, blue could simply counter.
And sometimes even when green does get a good card to hose blue, such as Thrun, the Last Troll, a card like Phantasmal Image gets released almost immediately afterward to make him look foolish.
But as far as this card goes, it's not bad, and if it ever resolves can really hurt blue, but Choke is probably a better option these days.

Have you younger people heard of the phrase "don't put all your eggs in one basket?" Do you understand what that means? Most of you newer players seem to have no idea why color-hosers were created in the first place. It was to provide checks and balances against the power of mono-colored decks. Single-color decks have it so easy with generating mana and never being shorted on any particular colors, and tend to be aggressively strong with narrow strategies - while bearing glaring weaknesses in other aspects. This kind of dynamic threatens game balance. Cards like Tsunami were there to keep things from getting out of hand... and they are a teaching tool as well.
You see, cards which are designed to punish a specific strategy teach you a valuable lesson: putting all of your eggs in one basket leaves you highly vulnerable to particular events that may happen. This is an important piece of wisdom that applies to our lives way beyond a card game.
