I´m sorry, but Rod of Ruin is totally junk. It was bad back then and now in M10 it is even worse.

Hillarious that this thing is still being made. It saw very little play when I was playing back in Revised, and now there are much better options. Onyx Goblet is a better way to ping someone now.

In the days of revised, the list of things that did 1 damage per turn for no cost was enormous... Wanderlust, Prodigal Sorcerer, Relic Bind, etc.

1/5

You don't understand the function of this. It's anti Tim. When two Tim decks duel, the winner is the one who brings this on the table.

This can hit creatures, so its in a totally different class then most of your list. Also its not a creature, so its removal resistant just because of that.

But if your opponent has no X/1 creatures in his deck, this card becomes worse. Its okay when your paying 3 mana to take out a pest, but as others have stated, there are better ways of doing this.

Reprinted AGAIN in M14. Which is also its 14th reprint. I think maybe there is some sort of bet to see how many times they can reprint this card.
