Seems like fun, if you're the world's biggest *** griefer.

For everyone else who doesn't get it:
Lets say you're playing W/G or Bant (permanent bounce) or nayan (land destruction) colors or whatever. Pop this early, and ramp up as many lands as possible. It could mean being a very, very bad person with Primeval titan and having 7 or 8 lands while your opponent is stuck with 2 or 3.
Because of this isn't very fun to be on the receiving end of, Limited Resources is banned in EDH.

What's especially fun is that several powerful white flyers, including Serra Angel and Walletslayer Angel, are CMC 5.
And by "fun", I mean "fun for you, not anybody else".

.... This plus (optimally) four Urza's Armor. Run obnoxious white "Horsemanship" cards.

Makes land destruction ridiculous in multiplayer. The wording says to sac down to five lands and that lands cant be played if there are already ten in play. Lets say you're playing with three other people and you all sac down to five lands. That means that every single land destruction spell you play causes the land to be destroyed and virtually non-replaceable. That's political power if I've ever seen it.

Did they give any thought to multiplayer games at all when making this card?

I can picture picture a 10-person EDH game. The first nine people play a single fancy land, then the last guy drops a Plains and this... and of course he's the joker with the Isamaru deck. He won't be able to beat all of you to death in time, but he's still getting decked last anyway. Have fun!

Has exactly the same problem as Balance, including the reasoning behind it's supposed 'fairness'-- being a White card and affecting everyone.
I think that should point to exactly how to judge it:
In 1v1 EDH, where both players are trying to Combo.
In Vintage and some Legacy, where both players are trying to Combo, Lock, or Race with supreme *ruthlessness* (the creature deck there is called "Hatebears")
And in any highly competitive 2 or 3 player games, where the decks are pretty much
trying to win, or gain dominance, relatively fast, and the game is some-number-of-ways Mexican Standoff.
In those games, it's pretty fair, because after all "every card has an answer", and in fact this is easily a legitimate justifiable response to someone splurging on a Fastbond/Primeval Titan gravy train.
For any 3 or more player game where some players want to run Tribal (even the powerful Merfolk, Goblin, and Elf tribes with their a... (see all)

Pretty cool. Your opponent has 14 mana and is getting ready to play Emrakul, the Aeons Torn. Play this card, and he might get a little frustrated.
