Destroy target land. Melt Terrain deals 2 damage to that land's controller.
Just as the most finely wrought metal can warp and rust, so too does Mirrodin buckle under pressures from without and within.

Where it came from
Melt Terrain was released in 2010 as part of the Scars of Mirrodin expansion for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The set marked a return to the artificial plane of Mirrodin, exploring a narrative of corruption and transformation by the Phyrexians. This specific card serves as a utility land-destruction spell, reflecting the harsh environmental shift occurring on the plane as the metallic landscape is consumed by biological decay.
The card features illustration by Kev Walker, a prominent artist known for his gritty, detailed depictions of fantasy creatures and landscapes. Walker’s work on Melt Terrain emphasizes the volatile, transformative nature of the setting, utilizing vibrant reds and oranges to signify the liquefaction of the metallic terrain. Upon its debut, the card was received as a niche functional tool within the game's competitive landscape, valued primarily for its role in managing opponents' non-basic land resources.
