Rain of Tears Black Card in Magic the Gathering

Video Transcript

"MIKE LOPEZ: Hi. I'm Mike Lopez with Expert Village, and today we're going to be discussing the black color from "Magic: The Gathering". Here, we have Rain of Tears. The Rain of Tears is a sorcery spell which means it can only be played during your main phase and/or your second main phase. It is uncommon from the basic set which means that it will cost you 40 to 50 cents at your local gaming store from the 10th edition and rain of tears cost you 1 and 2 black to play so costs you 3 to play. However, what this card does is, it destroys target land. Now, this deck, this will be put in a deck made for heavy land destruction i.e. your red black deck. Once again, without the land, that means that person has to play another land but it also means that they don't get that mana. Also, this destroys target land, this does not say basic land, so if there's a land that's acting as the mana battery or a land that produces more than one color, you could basically destroy their whole deck idea by destroying that land on turn three."
