About Burning of Xinye

Burning of Xinye, Sorcery, designed by Yang Hong first released in May, 1999 in the set Portal Three Kingdoms and was printed exactly in 4 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of € 0.46.

A deck that focuses on aggressive land destruction strategies, such as a Red-Green land destruction deck, would benefit from using Burning of Xinye. However, in competitive play, this card may not see much use due to its high mana cost and the potential drawback of destroying your own lands. Other cards like Stone Rain or Molten Rain may be more efficient choices for land destruction decks, as they are cheaper and more versatile in their targeting.
