This card is not really a great card by itself, but as a combo card it can be brutal. Try combo-ing it with thought of ruin and dingus egg... my buddy made a deck around that and it womps major butt. Now, what shall i do with all that excess land you ask??? Seismic Assault. A deck fueled by lands, especially when there is no limit to the number of lands you can put in a deck... so like I said: a good combo card

Use with Stuffy Doll to deal damage to target player.

Quick question. Is returning the mountains to your hand part of the cost? So if someone plays this card, and sweeps up say, five mountains, can I counter it at that point and prevent the damage, but still have the player return the lands to his hand?

No, Dudboy, you pick up the lands on resolution.

Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle makes this more viable late game, but you probably wouldn't need to resort to this unless you were playing multiplayer.

You don't want to know what happens if the barrel's up.

The name sounds like a J-metal band.

Huh, take what others have mentioned, add Exploration, and Stomping Ground. Suddenly it's a heffty amount of damage for a really cheap price.
Shame Exploration at time of posting is only Vintage.

I had a magazine that said "More fun than a barrel full of monkeys, or perhaps we should say 'Barrel Down Sokenzan' of Monkeys."

Was about to rate this card a 5/5 and call you guys idiots, then I noticed the lack of "player" in the wording.

From the 10/23/2009 post, this card still sees play in my casual circle. 3.5/5
check out my comment for Thoughts of Ruin. My friend's deck has evolved over the years--Repercussion and a little more Avacyn block card based like Hound of Griselbrand and Vexing Devil--but still hard to handle.

Easy combo with Mogg Maniac and the Maniac may keep you safe while you're building up mountains.
