If they had tacked a counter spell onto it, it would be the least casual friendly card ever. Because what do people hate to play against more than LD and Discard?

The perfect answer to all of the powerful lands in this set.

Unfortunately the cost is kind of high, but I don't really know if I'de call it overpriced. I mean you're 2-for-1'ing them assuming they have a card left to discard. Running this as a 2 or 3-of might not be such a bad idea depending on how prevalent the rare lands like Emeria, Magosi, Oran-Rief or Valakut turn out to be.

It really feels this should have been costed 2BB to me. At five, it's a tad too expensive.

The only land-destro in standard.
I think it should have been 4cc, however they want it split. Preferably 2BB or 3B, but I might pay 1BBB for it.

Am I the only one that doesn't like how it has Earth in the name, I thought this was taking place on Zendikar not Earth. Yeah so Earth's real name is Terra and its not like they put that on cards all the tiOH WAIT Terra Eternal.
Sometimes flavor just gets to me >:P

Um, "earth" isn't so much a name here as it is a... um, object. You know, like dirt. Dirt. Earth. Ground. Etcetera.

works great while on this plane: Glimmervoid Basin

Except on Glimmervoid Basin the copies would target your own lands as well. So you'd lose your hand and mana, just like your opponents.

One time, late in a game, I cast Recollect on the Glimmervoid Basin. That was awesome.

5 seems to be pretty standard for common card advantage that affects more than one zone other than life.

If you get Chandra, The Firebrand out first, her -2 makes a nasty two-land busting, two-cards discarding sucker punch. Sounds like an idea for a janky B/R land-destrution deck to me :D

Wizards please return black land destruction at 3 CMC.
