From the same block that brought you Stampeding Wildebeests... if you were desperate to draw card, and had Kavu Lair, then maybe. But with Solemnity... still, pretty passable creature.

The 9/20/17 random card of the day is Stone Rain. If you have any comments, combos or a decklist involving this card, feel free to share.
Old school classic land destruction. Like Wolverine, its the best at what it does (not quite, since sinkhole was in the same set and molten rain was printed), and is the most efficient land hate.

best art ever. I swear, "Daniel Gelon" is a name they give to cards when the artist doesn't want to be credited. compared to other stuff this guy did, Uncle Istvan, Fungal Sliver, Scaled Wurm... the art style is drastically different.
That critique aside, Stone Rain has been a survivor. While other staples have been rotated out, Stone Rain has stayed.

The 10/03//17 random card of the day is Caldera Lake. If you have any comments, combos or a decklist involving this card, feel free to share.
Each time I randomly pick a bad card, I search the thread, secretly hoping that I previously picked it as the random card. I could just pick another random card, but then it wouldn't really be random, would it?
Caldera Lake and all the other Tempest-Pain lands aren't "bad" lands; they are considered BAD only because people compare them to the Apocalypse painlands [Shivan Reef as it's counterpoint.]. now when you have enemy-wedge lands as commons [Highlands Lake] do people consider the Tempest-Pain lands really bad.
Please note that Tempest also had "exhausting" Ally lands [ie: Mogg Hollows] when there are also ally-painlands, eg Karplusan Forest when there wasn't really any better options for multicolored decks. Do you really want to run the OG Depletion lands or filter lands? Now... there are options.
back in the day, when your only option was shelling out the cash for an actual dual land, these painlands were acceptable when running enemy colors. now that the game's meta has changed- do people label it bad.
Now, people who can afford them, play Volcanic Island and Steam Vents; while those who don't, go for Shivan Reef, Highlands Lake or Izzet Guildgate. Tempest pains are left in the nickel box.

Obviously great in a deck where you can add counters to her, spend a lot of mana, or recur her for value.

Why do i play Mogg Hollows and Vec Township in my Wall deck, when i could run Elfhame Palace or Shivan Oasis? now, that's a whole other kettle to rant about.
/rant.
TL;DR- Cards are only considered bad when compared to card that came out YEARS later.
