Sure it's got an amazing Johnny aspect to it, but it'd also simply make a perfect side-deck for any deck in case you're going up against a mill deck.

I always thought this was four mana and seemed a step too slow for what you wanted to be doing. Now that I see it is three my mind is changed completely. Nuking lands every turn starting on turn two or three is insane. Suddenly this plus Mishra's Workshop and Strip Mine seems like one of the most oppressive things you can do in Vintage.

Even back when I was just beginning and first saw this card, I knew it had power...I still never truly understood its uses though.
Now, after years of playing, I see fully why this card is deserving of its rating and more. Playing it after an Armageddon or popping Ajani Vengeant in my boros weenie EDH can be a devastating push ahead for myself, has won me more games than I can recall, and that's just one use!
Use it to recur fetch lands, Evolving Wilds , Terramorphic Expanse, any land that requires sacing as a cost. I had a friend use it with two Flagstones of Trokair to pull out plains after plains onto the field and race ahead of me.
Marit Lage die after saccing Dark Depths ? Sure, there's other, more interesting ways to recur it that can bring back your Hexmage and your land, but the point is this can do it too!
How bout those Manlands? Want a guy who ju... (see all)

This + Zuran Orb + Fastbond + F**k ban lists = infinite life-gain.
Sacrifice a land to Zuran Orb: gain 2 life.
Play the land thanks to Crucible. It will cost 1 life because of Fastbond.
Repeat.
Infinite tokens can happen if Rampaging Baloths are out. Infinite mana can happen if Lotus Cobra is out. Quick milling can happen if Hedron Crab is out. The same can occur with Scrib Nibblers. Did I say something about Searing Blaze dealing infinite damage? I TOTALLY DID NOT EDIT IT OUT BECAUSE I WAS AN IDIOT BEFORE!
Add anything with landfall to this combo, and you break the game.
