This is the main card that gives Legacy Burn an awesome Affinity matchup ^_^

I don't know what you are on Dr. Jack. Try to play monored deck in Vintage or Legacy and find out how you fare. Or try to play non-monored deck with basic lands only and try to find how you fare.

This doesn't damage only your opponent but all players. So if you have any non-basic lands you also get the damaged and if you don't your opponent runs you over before you can play this.

Damn. You guys must be rich - or have rich parents, maybe. I play with two to four or five non-basic lands in most of my decks, and most of my friends play with fewer than that, it seems.

It's still a lot of fun. :)

5/5 stars. Thats what you get for spending more money on your lands then I did on my car....
I love how this card will do nothing against the humble basic land player, and then humiliates the wallet warrior spike.

Dear Wizards, please reprint this but with a different name.

There is some seriously flawed thinking going on around here.

"Damn. You guys must be rich - or have rich parents, maybe."
"5/5 stars. Thats what you get for spending more money on your lands then I did on my car.... "

I don't know why this is very difficult for some of you to understand, but..:

ALPHA DUAL LANDS AREN'T THE ONLY NON-BASIC LANDS IN EXISTENCE.

Why do you guys think everyone who runs Urza lands, pain lands, legendary lands, etc. etc. etc. deserves to suffer? For that matter, why should even people who use Alpha dual lands be punished so severely? What was their crime? Wanting to have fun and not be mana screwed 80% of the time?

For the record, I'm not a rich boy either. I never owned more than a couple Alpha (actually, Unlimited/Revised) dual lands. I used... (gasp in horror now) proxies. So did most of my friends. Guess what? We had a darn good time, whether we were using mono-color decks with basic lands or lands full of duals. Blood Moon, Price of Progress, and the like, were completely unnecessary. But certain individuals just can't ever leave "good enough" alone.
