|         It could be useful against things like Emeria the Sky Ruin and Valakut I suppose. You can't use it early to cripple your opponents mana production like Wasteland or Strip Mine though. It probably ranks about even with Dustbowl.

|         It definitely would. It means playing multiple lands in your pwn deck that only produce colorless mana though. You would probably need to be playing a mono-colored deck to use it effectively in the current Standard, and I definitely wouldn't want to play it in mono-red.

|         This thing is a must in most control decks after Worldwake. It's a kill spell with the manlands, and sets your opponent back a man. VERY GOOD for control.

|         It also sets you back a land and forces you to play lands that only produce colorless mana. I definitely wouldn't play this in Grixis, but it might be playable in UWR control. Mono-Black control seems like a good fit, although it would make Mind Sludge and Tendrils of Corruption less effective.
