Power is like a poison.

But it's addictive too... are you willing to bleed for it?

Sure, why not. Let's make the lands that actually give you mana to cast your spells really unreliable, while making the lands that shut down the entire game like Demolition Field and Desert completely broken.

I’m surprised there isn’t more talk about Desert—it’s ridiculous, even for a masterpiece. It’s cheap to cast, and pretty much unstoppable unless you happen to have a spell for it. I don’t see how it ever made it into the game, smh

I suspect they made it as a counter to GTA, but GTA was so powerful that it would have been your best bet playing against Desert anyway.

Desert is a shutdown for almost every match...it's a bit like Test of Talents but does even more things (instead of just punishing conversion. It should have just done that) and has a whopping 4 shields. Worse than GTA.

Desert probably needs somebody to write 1,500 words on why it's broken right now but I'm afraid I'm too tired, anyone else want to have a go?

Fully agree. I HATE cards that prevent you from playing the game how it's meant to be played. It drains all the fun out of it.
