About Ruinous Path
Ruinous Path, Sorcery, designed by Aaron Miller first released in May, 2020 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 6 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.70.
Ruinous Path is a versatile removal spell that can fit well in control decks looking to deal with threats efficiently. While it provides the flexibility of being able to awaken a land for additional value, it may be outclassed by other removal spells like Hero's Downfall or Vraska's Contempt, which offer more immediate answers to creatures or planeswalkers without the need for additional mana investment. Whether Ruinous Path should see play depends on the specific needs and strategy of the deck, but there are potentially better options available.

If a spell with awaken has multiple targets (including the land you control), and some but not all of those targets become illegal by the time the spell tries to resolve, the spell won’t affect the illegal targets in any way.

The land will retain any other types, subtypes, or supertypes it previously had. It will also retain any mana abilities it had as a result of those subtypes. For example, a Forest that’s turned into a creature this way can still be tapped for .

You can cast a spell with awaken for its mana cost and get only its first effect. If you cast a spell for its awaken cost, you’ll get both effects.
