I just figured out a really fun way to break this card. Let's just say hypothetically I'll play this card then use something to make all my lands Swamps. 10+ points of burn for the CMC of Lava Axe!

eh.
I can't see this being too helpful. The most likely of cases would be:
Opp. loses 2 life
deal 1 damage
draw 1 card, discard 1
gain 2 life
put 2 tokens into play (the extra is because ur deck probably uses green to fuel it)
though, with Master's Edition II lands or Ravnica lands, I love this card.

love this card, only drawback is the discard if you have a lot of islands or a prismatic omen in late game, but it seems with a name like Last Stand there would be some killer drawback that would make you lose the next turn if your opponent didn't die from it, that would make it a tricky card but i give it a 4.5/5 just for the discard

4x Sakura Tribe-Elder
4x Search for Tomorrow
4x Tribal Flames
4x Worldly Council
4x Matca Rioters
4x Maelstrom Archangel
1x Progenitus
3x Last Stand
2x Violent Ultimatum
2x Cruel Ultimatum
4x Prismatic Omen
24x lands (primarily forests)
It works. Free-casting Proggy off an Archangel is scary. Casting Last Stand with the Omen out is scarier usually, because it's generally game-ending - average of 14 damage, and that's a dead creature, 14 life, 7 saprolings, and most likely another something scary in my hand from the seven cards drawn.

Esprel's right, actually. If you use this card the way it was printed to be used (with one or two of each land type) it's actually pretty underwhelming. Maybe magic's just come a long way since Apocalypse, but nowadays I expect a lot more when I pay {W}{U}{B}{R}{G}.
Ironically, a modern enchantment, Prismatic Omen, raised this card up to the force to be reckoned with that its name and cost suggests it should be. With Prismatic Omen in play, by the time you can play Last Stand you will have at least +10 life, target player loses 10 life, 5 damage to target creature, 5 1/1 saprolings in play, and draw/discard 5 cards.
That'll pretty much give you the game in most cases. If the 10 life loss doesn't end the game outright, the saprolings and life gain should keep you alive long enough to use the second one (or another bomb) you probably just drew.

The only thing wrong with this card is the fact that you discard as many cards as you draw, meaning that if it's the last card in your hand, you basically mill yourself and draw nothing.
And why do people say it kills on turn 5 with Omen ? 2x5 = 10, not 20. Unless I'm missing something.

I use it in a 5-color deck comprised of all dual lands (Badlands, etc..). While very powerful in that deck, it's pretty limited in other deck types unless featuring the aforementioned Prismatic Omen. IMO, 4-5 stars in those decks, 1 star in other decks.

For this card's flavor I'm imagining a planeswalker just going berserk and casting random spells in every direction.
