What it does
Destroy target Plains or Island. Cryoclasm deals 3 damage to that land's controller.
The people of Terisiare had come to live on frozen fields as though on solid ground. Nothing reminded them of the difference more clearly than the rifts brought on by the Thaw.

Where it came from
Cryoclasm was released in 2006 as part of Coldsnap, a Magic: The Gathering expansion designed as the long-awaited third set for the Ice Age block. The set was conceived as a thematic return to a glacial, survivalist world, utilizing a unique design philosophy that focused on 'snow-covered' mechanics and a nostalgic aesthetic that harkened back to the mid-1990s era of the game.
The card features illustration by Pete Venters, a prolific artist known for his contributions to the early years of the game. His depiction of a violent, shattering frost effect was intended to convey the destructive, anti-land utility of the red spell. Upon release, the card was received as a situational sideboard option, prized for its ability to punish players relying on non-basic lands in a format defined by its harsh, frozen atmosphere.
