Well here it is:

A Stone Rain about cards in hand...Hm...Supports the theme, probably not great.

Thoughts of Ruin

So, looks pretty cool. What do you guys think?

aWESOME Card
Too destructive
but a little simetrical for red

Either not as good as Armageddon or way better, my opinion tends to vary.

I'm leaning towards worse.

fbi_boy · 05-12-2005, 11:03 PM

holy smokes! its armageddon! sad to see that its probably not coming back to white

but still here is a quality card!

Solace · 05-12-2005, 11:04 PM

Well, obviously not as good as armegeddon... but, not bad in it's own right. I bet there's oddles of fun things to do with this one... but I'm not playing red right now, so I don't care.

JasonFin · 05-12-2005, 11:05 PM

Ah, now that's more like it. This is a card that will have a real effect on the Standard environment.

Elheirst · 05-12-2005, 11:06 PM

Not bad, if red gets a sweep card... play the sweep return all lands to hand play this and if you have spell book you are set for your hand... It will be an Armageddon most likely if you return 6 lands to hand

fbi_boy · 05-12-2005, 11:06 PM

its also better than armageddon in a way, since if you play say red, green and get ectra mana from elder and reach, you can play this, and destroy all your opponents lands, while still leaving a couiple for you.
and i guess it means white wont be seeing armageddon anytime soon.
damn you red! i hate red!

At first glance I liked this card. But after a second I thought, well, it stinks. Its double red, so not splashable, and if you were using it in mono red how many cards in hand would your really have to give it a geddon like effect, not too many.

More nice art though. I just hope there is a nice red sweep spell so I can save my lands and kill the others.

I'll post on this thread since it was made within 60 seconds of the site updating. You have no life Sorryguy!
Anyways, good job wizards! No crappy useless cards so far! I can see this in Ponza, Red deck wins, Goblins, and any other red deck! Go staples!

In general, I like this card.

Jaksiel · 05-12-2005, 11:08 PM

Nice. This is going to see a lot of play.

bloody_rebellion · 05-12-2005, 11:08 PM

i am sheelry amazed, not by extremely costed cards with uber abilities(dumb idea) but by the fact that we are seriously getting high quality cards that may be very playable out of standard, jeez i love how the name of our beloved little set coincides with exactly what its doing for this block. Its saving it from being an entire bag of crap w/ sprinkles.

Neway i like this card, well costed and when u play it ull more or less destroy 3 or 4 lands miniimum

Standard Goblins suddenly reminds me of old-school Standard WW. Fast creatures followed by board lockdown. I think this makes W/R Samurai and the aforementioned Goblins competitive.
