The ability is neat, but expensive. Still a good card. 3/5

2.5 stars is way too low for repeated land destruction on a decently large and fairly costed body.

I love nonbasic land hate. Makes my friends mad.

A repeatable Stone Rain for nonbasic lands. Not too bad.

a Hill giant in black with Dwarven Miner or Dwarven Blastminer's ability.
Could defend and blow up lands on the same turn, but not attack. Helldozer can attack and blow stuff up on the same turn, but he's rare and expensiv-er.

Too limited in that it can only target non-basic lands

Most decks ran only basics back in invasion, and even through odyssey block. Fetchlands weren't invented yet, and lands weren't really utility cards like they are today. As the very best, filter lands and pain lands fixed mana.

And for my next trick, I'll make your Library of Alexandria disappear.

In EDH, this can be nasty. Cabal Coffers, eat your heart out!

Wasteland/autocard on a stick. Awesome!

This would be better now than it was then, because back then many players were running Domain strategies, and hence running mostly basic lands. Nowadays, the manabase is so strongly nonbasic for a great many decks that this kind of repeated land destruction could prove extremely disruptive.

Quite usable; I prefer Dwarven Miner if you're going for any kind of lockdown, but the point is that this guy is a beater + potential card advantage. He still fits the dwarven miner curve if you ritual him out T2 as well
