Was there really the need of such an incredibly expensive entwine cost when the mana cost was already Shatter and Stone Rain combined?
I think not.

Stone Rain is a Sorcery, it's more like the cost of Fissure an instant.

Land destruction as an instant isn't cheap apparently.

I think it's because land destruction, as a mechanic, isn't fun and even the people working at Wizards don't like it.

This is a perfect card when you need to destroy both a land and an artifact at instant speed for a CMC of 6RRR.

Overpriced, but it's not completely useless.

1.5/5

Really, even if the Entwine cost was {R} I doubt this would be used much. Now, if this was {2}{R}{R} with a {1}{R} cost, that might work.

Worst card in mirrodin block, hands down...

and needless to say, I always got it when I got cards from the mirrodin boosters and such. ._.;;

On Mirrodin, mages who call upon the power of rust are shunned by their people and often turn mercenary to survive.

this is because these mages all cast terrible spells like this one and are stupid enough to rely on the power of rust

oxidize was a nice card, though

Land destruction is unfun at any time other than Mirrodin. There, I would prefer quick LD that could shut down affinity.

This is called keeping up the tempo game. 9 mana. Finisher? Nope, not yet. Tempo.
A five mana shatter is passable in "everything is a freaking artifact set" draft, though.

"Choose one" How about neither...

@ nammertime: Nonsense, land destruction is loads of fun. If you're playing it, that is. :D
Otherwise, this card is terrible.

Lets see. I could pay

and destroy an artifact and land...or I could play Worldfire and just be done with ALL the things.
