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 originally introduced in the Coldsnap expansion in 2006, designed as a specialized tool for red decks to punish opponents utilizing white or blue lands. The card fits within the broader mechanical philosophy of red mana, which often features direct damage and land-destruction effects that trade long-term stability for immediate tactical disruption. Its inclusion in the Tenth Edition core set in 2007 signaled a brief period where this specific form of disruption remained relevant in the standard environment.
The artwork for this iteration was rendered by artist Greg Staples, known for his atmospheric and gritty contributions to the Magic: The Gathering card game. Staples sought to capture the visceral nature of frozen destruction, depicting the shattering of earth and stone through extreme cold. Upon release, the card was received as a niche sideboard option, primarily valued for its utility in specific matchups rather than as a centerpiece for deck construction.
