Not bad cost for land destruction but the non regenerating part and the option of destroying artifacts make this a amazing card for its cost defintily in my top 10 for best cards.

Excellent blend of Stone Rain and Shatter into a card that's much better than either.

What's an example of something that can regenerate a land?

Well if you equip a dryad arbor with regeneration then it could regenerate but not if you kill it with this. Fantastic card for LD 3.5/5

Reprinted (and slightly nerfed) as Demolish in M11. Edit: oh, whoops. Make that Odyssey.
@achilleselbow: Not entirely true - Demolish is way older than M11
That said, this card is devastating. I've built a land destruction deck using some of these (yeah I know it's boring as **** to play against, but it's generally cheap to build one, and pretty fun to use myself), and boy are they doing a good job. It even doubles as artifact destruction when you need it - no wonder the high rating, this card is incredible.

That's some 300-worthy flavour text. And the card is darn good.
Pillage (Alliances) is older than Demolish (Odyssey).
Can't say one's better than the other. You want 3 CMC over 4 usually, but Demolish is easier to splash in an otherwise non-red deck, and versatile removal like this is always worth having in any deck.

WOW is that good. "OH HEY I didn't draw enough LD to mana screw you, so I decided to just blow up your batterskull instead."

reknit, although I believe that is the only one.

Wrecking Ball is good next to this as well.
