I really like this card. I personally run it in my X-damage burn deck. Really helps push the the final points of damage your fireball needs.

Oh my god. HOW did I miss this card? HOW!?

...I think I was distracted by Lotus Vale; that's the only reasonable explanation.

Here I thought Cloudpost was ridiculous. This guy doesn't even need a four-set of Loci to make a ridiculous amount of mana. Run it alongside some kind of untap effect (Krosan Restorer, perhaps, since your graveyard will be at least two bigger) and it just gets extra wrong extra quick.

My personal favorite part about this land is that it doesn't come into play tapped, and the acceleration is comparable to Sol Ring. I like this more than Lotus Vale for that reason. Plus, it's fun to tap a land for 4.
Btw: Currently Lotus Vale is rated 0.006 points higher than this :P

Strange that this card doesn't have more notoriety... I played thru this block as a kid and don't remember seeing this card much...

Also, if the friggin' scorched ruins of this place produce 4 mana then what were they up to before?!? They musta been Jamuraa's equivalent of the dude in multiplayer who's gettin a little too powerful. "Alright guy I'm afraid we're gonna gang up on you now..."

no no no, see this does work with Vesuva due to the errata of this card. Before, you had to sacrifice lands as it entered the battlefield, but now, you have to sacrifice lands before Scorched Ruins enters the battlefield. Vesuva doesn't become a copy of it until after it has entered the battlefield, well past the time when you would have to sacrifice the lands.

Easily powers up the Eldrazis and artifacts, works well in level up decks as well. Lotus Vale is better in MOST situations though. 4.5/5 for this one.

Useful if you're running a massive number of artifacts, I suppose, although I think Lotus Vale is better.
