Land destruction

[MR.CHUBBYKINS]

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

[Piotr]

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

[Spikepit]

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

[GerLaX187]

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

[Thatguy1988]

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...

[GerLaX187]

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

[Spawn9]

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

[Alcapownage]

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

[GerLaX187]

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

[Alcapownage]

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.

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

[Karrthus]

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

LD = grieffing
