@Psuedonaut I like these idiots who bring up combos involving four cards each with unique effects who act like they can be reliably played together in an actual game with a shot at winning. Let me tell you why - insufficient and overpriced searchers and no comparable and cost reasonable cards. You'll get these four cards together once in a lifetime in an actual draw. I personally guarantee that you would never win a competitive match with a deck built around these cards in legacy format.

Just imagine doing Bubbling Muck then this, risky but could pay off.

If you know you're going to combo out, why does losing your lands matter?

I use this occasionally to put out a huge demon if it clears the board (such as Reiver Demon)
It's good for that sort of thing. Best if you run with something that ends up destroying your lands/permanents anyway, at least then you get a benefit beforehand. Such as with Hellcarver Demon.

@pseudonaut: Gormaol is right, though he didn't need to be so rude about it. A 4 card combo is a tough one to bring about. Plus, yours doesn't work. Rain of Filth will only allow you to sacrifice the lands that are in play when you cast it. Once you sacrifice those lands and bring them all back with Fastbond, that's it- combo over. You can't sacrifice them again because they aren't treated as the same lands that were in play when Rain of Filth was cast. Better to use Zuran Orb.

Its not risky its a freakin win condition... You pop this for an X spell when you got lethal damage, if it gets countered QQ make a sideboard move, and play again at least you did something creative. And I promise if you know what your doing your not going to get this countered very often, unless its your only option to pop this and steal a win.

Splash white and play Second Sunrise or M13's Faith's Reward if sacrificing lands scares you (I know it scares me)

If you aren't using a combo to return them all to play, then you better win the turn you cast it! Planar Birth is another good combo card with this.

Because having lands doesn't matter when you're casting Debt to the Deathless for 20.

I wish they would reprint this. It's not very good in Legacy because of all the different (and way broken) ramping options for Black, but Modern barely has any Black ramping options at all. If they reprinted a card like this it would allow for risky but potentially highly profitable mana ramping for black. Bring back Suicide Black!
