RCotD #178

Random Card of the Day #178:

Stone Rain - 2R
Instant
Destroy target land

Initial Thoughts:
Well as I sit here watching the pro tour...I noticed Sefahs comments about my hate of buy back...and yes I do hate it but the karma for sneaking that in is now I get to gush about this card.

SSSSSTTTTTTOOOOOONNNNEEEEE RAIN! I am a sucker for good land destruction and this is it...the only card better is Sink Hole and even still this is more splashable. Unfortunately wizards determined land destruction anti-fun...so all recent ones are very meh, but this on turn 3 is devastating. It kills a priority land, it slows down your opponent, its screws up a curve, just great. It is usually viable at most stages of the game and its good in both EDH and constructed. This is a go to card for me with the likes of Boom/Bust being another great card.  Sefah's gong to hate this but... 5/5
