Obviously great for EDH, but this is not a bad one-of in most any deck. It just screams "sideboard me!".

Expensive, but so worth it when your opponent has all three. Take out Defang, Vessel of Endless Rest, and a land for good measure? Sure thing! Comes into its own in multiplayer.

We're getting there. One day we'll get that green card that says "Destroy everything."
@Kendramaya
Desert twister only destroys ONE thing. Its pretty awful for the cost.
When I say everything, I mean every thing. BOOOOOM.

It was surprising to see how many mix of enchantments and artifacts people were playing at the prerelease. Out of the 4-5 times I got to use it, I usually hit at least two things. The option to blow up land was a godsend for me, especially when the opponent was being a little mana screwed in a certain colour. I loved using it, even though it was sometimes a dead card when I had only 5 mana.

4GG: Destroy target player's day.

I'd say this is essential in a mono-green EDH deck.

I love the 'or more' templating rather than just 'choose one' or 'choose two' or 'choose one or both'.

This opens up Design Space that is good to open up. Just for the lolz, does anyone think Cryptic Command worded 'or more' would become a hotter card than Jace, the Mind Sculptor? :p

The "choose one or more" makes this card. It's costly, but the utility can definitely be worth it if the situation arises.

Power seep. Hull Breach and Decimate both outclass this.

Almost roped this card a new one......then I saw the "or more" after the "Choose one".

@blindthrall
You're right about hull breach, great card. But decimate requires legal targets for all four. So they need to have an artifact and an enchantment to cast it.
That being said, both are EDH gold. Card advantage to the rescue.

Hull Breach doesn't destroy lands.
