While not powerful, Kudzu is fun, and for the most part it can stay on the board. Just keep it in mind when you build a deck around it that you'll be losing your lands, too, so throw in some artifact mana.

Why is this on the Reserved List?

Question about this card. Say it is attatched to a land my oponent controls. My opponent has three nonbasic lands, i have a wasteland. He taps the land for mana, and targets my wasteland. Since the spell is triggered, can i sacrifice wasteland to destroy another one of his lands, and make kudzu go onto his last land?

@babylonian: because it's old. that's what the reserved list is based on, not the power level of cards.

@kriissii: If you pop your Wasteland (and if it is your only remaining land) in response to the land-destruction trigger on Kudzu, then yes, your opponent will have to place it on the only remaining land left on the battlefield, which incidentally belongs to him.
P.S. Kudzu doesn't target, so you couldn't do what you asked in response to your opponent targeting your land.

When I first started actually building decks, I'd give this to my opponent, then tap their land with Icy Manipulator (forcing them to hand it back). Next turn, I'd tap my Kudzu land for mana, pass it across and start the whole process again. This little annoying combo was too weak for serious play, and too annoying for casual play, but it did give me a few evil laughs as a relative newbie, especially since turn 1 Elf/Bird > turn 2 Kudzu (or Ice Storm) > turn 3 Icy was an evil curve. ^^

Fun card. Bad card! But fun card.
Also, there's a lot of kudzu around where i live. I've been the guy in the picture once or twice.

As someone living in a part of the world where Kudzu is both pervasive and nearly impossible to destroy, I can attest that this card is both accurate and terrifying.

Notice the "may" is gone from the Oracle wording. The opponent is *forced* to attach Kudzu to one of your lands. You may then tap your land, and repeat the process. "Sacrifice X lands: Destroy X + 1 of your opponent's lands" is not a bad effect! (Though an opponent will probably wise up and just avoid tapping the land Kudzu's attached to.)
Play it on one of your lands. Then destroy all your lands and play Balance. Then, Faith's Reward.

Slow and ineffective land destruction at its finest. It wasn't like Wizards was tiptoeing around land destruction back then, either. Green had Ice Storm and black had Sinkhole. But Kudzu offered the possibility of infinite land destruction - if you were willing to say goodbye to a few of your own. You could combine this with Dingus Egg, Icy Manipulator, and Mole Worms. Or you could just play it on one of your opponent's lands in the hopes that he or she would never use it. Or you could leave it out of your deck and play something decent.

For about 30 cents a piece, I say it's worth a try. Use next to Viridian Emissary and Yavimaya Dryad, maybe yavimaya elder too. You'll plop it out quickly and bury the opponent in card advantage; either that, or they'll be stuck with what is effectively a dead land.
To top it off, mix with grave-hate and planar Birth. Knight of the Reliquary can benefit from the lands you lose while killing theirs OR you can kill the land they try to attach it to, killing the enchant.

Vintage griefer with style.
