Landslide

About Landslide

Landslide, Sorcery, designed by Jeff Laubenstein first released in June 1999 in the set Urza's Destiny. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.39.

Landslide would mainly benefit a casual mono-red deck built around sacrificing and recurring Mountains—perhaps using Crucible of Worlds, Ramunap Excavator, or landfall/graveyard synergies—as a late-game finisher, but it is generally too risky for competitive play because it requires you to sacrifice your mana base, cannot damage creatures, and can be stopped by a counterspell after you have committed your lands; in most decks, Banefire is better because it provides scalable damage without sacrificing lands and becomes uncounterable at high values, while Fireball or Comet Storm offer more flexibility, and Price of Progress can deal far more damage in formats full of nonbasic lands. Landslide can be fun as a budget or themed card, especially in a deck designed to recover lands, but it should usually not see play in serious constructed or Commander lists unless its land-sacrifice ability is specifically part of the deck’s strategy.
