Great card. This is a nice little touch of mana acceleration that works well with other green staples such as Llanowar Elves or Wild Growth. 4.5/5

I would love for this to be reprinted. At the very least to have a 'rules reconciliation'. As it was in the 90's it was a given that walls could not attack unless you cast Animate Wall. What I really want is for Tinder Wall to have uncontested synergy with Overgrown Battlement.

@SonOfSamus :: All walls were given the key word "Defender" on Oracle which means Overgrown Battlement will count them as the rules go by the Oracle wording.
Nobody ever used it's second ability, though. This card is so ridiculously better than Wall of Wood.

Can be nice to get Kird Ape out without dual lands

This is almost a green Dark Ritual that produces red mana instead of black mana! But the best thing is, that's not all: This wall can also block AND destroy a creature! This is really, really good and I'm quite surprised to see such a powerful common in a fairly weak edition like Ice Age. Rating: Easily 5/5

Favorite wall ever. Use it in combo with Orcish Lumberjack for turn two fatty like Thundermare.

ahhh, the naivete of youth.. i used to just hate hate hate this "crappy wall"
This is wonderful in Jokulhaups decks. It acts as defense in the early turns, and can accelerate your destruction spells that would have destroyed it anyways. Also, in the general case, a Jokulhaups will destroy 6 of your mana producing cards. With this, it may only destroy 5 mana producing cards. Or you will just have extra mana left over to cast stuff after the world is washed away. Also, the ability sacrifice at will can be relevant. For instance, you can stop a lifelink critter from gaining life for it's controller.
Use card disadvantage to fuel card advantage and you have.. Ta da! Card neutral T2 land destruction control! thing!
This guy and the Lumberjack were made for eachother and they both synergize so so well.
@pigfish, You get 7 mana from that. 1 from mountain, 1 from forest, 2 from the wall, 3 from the jack.
:D

Good in Channel Deck, also great for getting a card like sneak attack down fast.

If you play a red/green deck, this a must-have. Sure, you might want Llanowar Elves for basic mana excel, but if you use this, you can easily pull out a 6 CMC card if you play your cards right.
Tap mountain, sac tinder wall, 3 red mana. Cut down forest with Lumberjack, BAM! 6 mana, 3 red, 3 green. 4 cards, too, allowing for 3 card combos, as long as they're cheap.
You could go with a Bloodbraid Elf, cascade into something else, and still have enough for TWO lightning bolts! thats at least 9 damage, turn three. Even more if you cascade into a Titanic Growth, or Be able to replay the combo, with an Eternal Witness!
6 mana turn two is a DANGEROUS thing to contend with, simply put. such a big bang like this early on will END games fast, IF you manage to protect yourself correctly. if you lose your advantage from this, you'll be basically screwed.

Literally free if you plan to tap Axebane Guardian right after summoning.

Insane awesomeness! Held true to the rule of old magic: if you're attacking with your creature, you're using it wrong.

My favorite thing ever is with my naya aggro casual deck, to play this turn one and then go straight into a Burning Tree Emissary or two on turn one, then you can go anywhere, get an Avacyn's Pilgrim and pretty much any red one drop, as stated, you could go into an Orcish Lumberjack or even a Goblin Guide. For me it even allows for a freaking turn two Rancored Wooly Thoctar! This is such great and versatile card. Buy these soon because if they get reprinted into standard and modern, you know the price is shooting up. 5/5

It's a sorcery in disguise. "
Round 1: forest + this
Round 2: sac + ball lightning in my face
Very disturbing... But quite some topdecking early on hehe
