Land destruction

Does anyone think that land destruction might be viable in standard?

Was it ever viable? I was playing in the times of Stripmine x4 Sinkhole x4, but after that?

It definitely viable but it also paints a big target on your back, lol

The only way in type 2 to do LD is g/r and to use the turn one land bird turn two beast withen then what ever red LD then on... The lack of the 3 mana LD kinda stalls the deck... Thank god for beast withen... I think it will be some time b4 a tier 1 type 2 LD is back in the meta... Come on reprint stone rain

I'm almost tempted to play LD in this next FNM. Make somany people mad... Tho it doesn't make the as mad as mill...

When LD was land bird go.... Land stone rain .... Land reap and sow/ demolish.... Land plow under.... Then eternal whitness that gets u mad.... Lol plow under was the best land shift ever

Love plow under. Back around Mirrodin is where I saw lots of LD builds.

They will never print stone rain or molten rain in the same standard format with beast within I don't think.

If they do it will be like 3 red mana or at least 2

Molten rain does cost 2 red, still no lol nobody likes to play against land destruction so wizards doesn't go out of their way to make it stronger.

A little home brew of my build for LD.

Cool! I'm actually partial to a Lil LD.

I had a standard LD that revolved around Galvanoth, Noxious Revival, Reclaim, and Melt Terrain.

LD = grieffing
