This may seem horrible, but it is absolutely insane with Madness or Hellbent. I want this card.

I sort of disagree with the last poster, Hellbent decks tend to have loads of quick beats and burn, and you empty your hand quickly without having to discard. But Madness could be a good strategy with this card, I just like cards like Stormbind better.

Stormbind costs mana to use, this one doesn't. The primary edge of Land's Edge is dumping land that hellbent doesn't want to choke on (dropping one land at a time makes hellbent sad).
Rather outclassed by Seismic Assault, which for the same CMC hits creatures as well, and is yours alone. Got a bit extra color weight, but this card's isn't exactly splash-friendly either.

{1}{R}{R} is fair for 2 color, so yep, its Treasure Hunt's best friend.

One of my old favorites. When Legends came out, this card was used with Land Tax to great effect.

turn every land into a near-shock for no mana? And they're free to "cast"? and "uncounterable"?
I've been trying this out more recently and it's fantastic to get a good 2-6 points of burn in at the end of the game. Great with Madness cards as well, but that feature is largely unnecessary to make it useful. Combo'd with Wheel of Fate/Fortune you'll fill up your hand AND dish out a ton of pain. Worth considering in any casual burn deck.
Turn 4 you're pumping 40ish damage in straight, near-uncounterable burn. THAT is insane. Turn 3 is easy with a Birds of Paradise and something like Sol Ring or Mana Vault.. etc.
T1 Forest, BoP T2 Mountain, Tap Mountain for 1 Mana, Play Sol Ring or Mana Vault, Play Scouting trek, use BoP and remaining colorless for Treasure hunt T3 tap Forest, Mountain, BoP, play Land's Edge, discard the lands in your hand for 2 damage a piece
Unfortunately it's still a pretty lucky hand and such, but doable by T3.
@champ-kitty to be fair, this costs no mana and can't hurt your hand. Further, this is great in a land destruction deck because then your opponent doesn't really have the option to return the favor.

In a green/blue/red deck you can also pull the combo:
scouting trek
treasure hunt
land's edge
