Regardless that it can destroy a creature or land its too expensive to be playable in red. It should've either been a green card, or have a cmc of .

It's also an instant, how many other land destruction spells are instants?

Pretty good spell at instant speed. I'd prefer if it was a 4 drop that only destroyed one or the other but that might get a bit too broken. Really good in land destruction EDH (annoying archtype though).

Expensive, sure, but it's the only red removal I know of that isn't damage based. Maybe a useful sideboard for big creatures that red has no other way of dealing with.

C'mon, guys, just like with Banishment Decree, the more versatile a card is, the more it costs. Yes, its the only mono-red creature removal thats not damage based, and even Molten Terrain costs . And this is at instant speed. If this were to be reprinted functionally, it would probably become either modal like Rain of Rust, or be costed at . Or possibly both. Very Solid Card, 4.5/5.

Extremely good. It is instand land destruction or creature removal that flat-out buries the target... and it's red! Very playable even today in Commander.

Solid for casual decks or Commander. Killing lands is often a necessity in Commander, since certain lands can make or break the game. At the same time, if no such land is in play, strict LD spells are mostly useless. This takes care of that, by combining great creature kill (instant, no restrictions, no regen) with ld.

It's good in my pauper mono red control land destruction deck. I think its too slow for most other types of builds except I can see it as useful in commander. The Instant is good tech if they don't play a creature you have the option to off a land.
