Chris' Magic: The Gathering Card of the Day!

The Card of the Day is....

Stench of Evil

Destroy all plains. Stench of Evil deals 1 damage to each player for each plains he or she controls that is destroyed in this way. Each player may pay 2 for each 1 damage he or she wishes to prevent from Stench of Evil.

A brief rundown of the card:

Stench of Evil is one of the best color hosers around. Along with Dystopia, you can easily build a deck bent around these big black destructive spells--if you use some of the following to help make sure your opponent will have plains in play (or to get more out of Stench of Evil):

• Magical Hack
  Simply Hack Stench of Evil to whatever land type you need.
• Phantasmal Terrain/Mystic Compass
  These cards are good if you only wish to remove choice lands.
• Illusionary Terrain
  This is by far the simplest way to make a bunch of plains out of nowhere.
• Dingus Egg
  Make your opponent take up to 3 damage per plain destroyed.
