Classic red - clear the ground while doing your opponent (and yourself!) X damage. Works great in dragon decks, or other decks full of flyers!

I run these in a creatureless red/green burn deck. Pair them with Repercussion and you have an amazingly effective way to destroy your opponent's creatures and deal him a great deal of damage in one turn. I won a game on turn 4 by playing a 3-point Earthquake when my opponent had 6 creatures out. 21 damage for 4 mana. I love it!

Pyroclasm and volcanic fallout are legal with these right now, making red the new home of mass creature removal.

years of greatness and damage dealing . the double d's are still there but a new star's in town. 'starstorm' has pretty much ended this once great's run in the big time, which is a shame as this is one of the oldy goldies..........
