Dingus Egg is a combo piece. It is complementary with cards like Stone Rain, Demonic Hordes, and Armageddon. The Egg has two major problems. Its casting cost is high for a card that doesn't do much on its own, and it is a dead giveaway that you're playing land destruction. In multiplayer, once you've let that little cat out of the bag, you can bet your opponents will focus on you.

It's a bit too slow to be really useful in a land destruction deck. Generally, you don't want to wait until you have 4 mana before you bring out Stone Rain etc. If you hold on to your Stone Rains till after Dingus Egg is in play, you'd give your opponents a chance to cast a few nasty things; but if you start destroying land right away, your opponent won't have a chance.

Land destruction remains one of the most difficult M.O.'s to pull off in Magic. I've tried a dozen times to use this guy in an LD deck without much luck. {4} is just a bit too steep to get out early, unless you're playing green mana acceleration. Too bad green doesn't have a lot in the way of cheap LD.

So now every time anyone cracks a fetch they take 2 and are Conley Woods.

for everyone hating on this card, you obviously haven't built a very good land destruction deck. 5 stars all the way, 2 damage is 10% of your opponent's life.
