Desolation Desolation English

Enchantment, 1BB (3)

At the beginning of each end step, each player who tapped a land for mana this turn sacrifices a land. If a Plains is sacrificed this way, Desolation deals 2 damage to that Plains's controller.

"Kill a creature, destroy the present. Kill the land, destroy the future." -Kaervek

Illus. George Pratt
