About Tectonic Rift

Tectonic Rift, Sorcery, designed by John Avon first released in July 2011 in the set Magic 2012 and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It see play in 2 formats: Pauper and Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of C$ 0.49.

A red aggressive deck focused on land destruction and attacking with creatures would benefit from using Tectonic Rift, as it can disrupt the opponent's mana base and make it difficult for them to block. However, there are better land destruction cards available in Magic: the Gathering, such as Stone Rain or Molten Rain, which can destroy any land without the restriction of needing a target. Tectonic Rift could see play in specific strategies that rely on disrupting the opponent's mana base, but it may not be the most efficient choice in all situations.

Rules

07/12/2019

Because it doesn’t modify the characteristics of creatures, Tectonic Rift can affect creatures that enter the battlefield or lose flying after the spell resolves, and it will stop affecting creatures that gain flying.

07/12/2019

If the target land is an illegal target by the time Tectonic Rift tries to resolve, the spell doesn’t resolve. Creatures without flying will be able to block as normal. If the target is legal but not destroyed (most likely because it has indestructible), creatures without flying will be unable to block.
