This card is SO off color it isn't even funny. It's a terrible effect, anyway.

Water magic draining mana from your enemy seems pretty blue to me.
Not the most useful thing ever printed. But in a deck built purely to annoy the *** out of other players, instead of actually winning the game, a few of these can come in handy.

"Not the most useful thing"? This card is bad as hell.
Probably the worst land destruction ever printed.
It's off color, yes, but nobody would want to play a RedRedRed Stone Rain which won't take effect until waiting for your opponent's turn at first, and even then he/she can still decide to pay 1 or 1 life to stafe off the loss for another turn.
Just a horribly bad card. 0,5/5

I'd almost always play Psychic Venom over this card

People ran this with winter orb back in the day, because with the orb it basically read, "UUU destroy target land."

If you're playing a blue land destruction deck, you're doing something wrong.

So basically, your opponent either has to let the land go or pay 1 to keep it around.

Not exactly threatening, especially since they can pay a single life and keep it around for almost forever.

It's not bad, just narrow. There is a deck type this was meant for.

Amazing how a previously worthless card like this one now becomes potentially interesting with Theros's Devotion, eh?

@Digit

Wait, how does that make sense? If your opponent doesn't want to pay the mana, they will just pay 1 life and keep their land.

@Hotspur000

Even with devotion this is crap. If you need a three-drop with three blue mana symbols, use Wistful Selkie, Crag Puca, Plumeveil, or Wasp Lancer.
