No one ever thought about Academy Ruins, the blue version of this card? Those 2 cards are so much powerful that there isn't any comparison... Such amount of recursion gives you a lot of inevitability and card advantage that if the opponent doesn't destroy the land he/she will be in a lot of trouble...!

5/5, almost a must-have in any creature-based black deck...!

perhaps the single best land I own. Volrath's Stronghold gives you a virtually infinite ability to recur a creature, any creature. Short of exile or eliminating Volrath's Stronghold, no creature in my graveyard will stay there if I don't want it to. Used properly as noted in other posts, it protects against some milling stratgys, and combined with comes into play or cycle effects such as Gempalm Polluter or Twisted Abomination you can repeat effects to nightmarish effect.

I can only thank the design team that this is not 1B Tap, return target creature to your hand. The exploitation that 2 mana return a creature would enable would be horrific.

Easy to use. Works will in any deck using black. Too bad it's so expensive and rare!

Why not put x1 in any deck capable of getting some black mana? This land synergies well with most creatures without even trying.

Fun Fact: Volrath was a bit of a prick.
