Why doesn't R easily destroy lands anymore?

How do you make him indestructible? All I could find online was "Gift of immortality", which I bought 3 copies of out of principle that it's a fucking epic card for a modular deck.

Darksteel Plate can help

Meh. I usually rely on combos where no individual card costs more than $2. $7 for a, admittedly great, equipment card is a little steep for my casual budget.

Too bad it's W

By the way, how does everyone feel of Stronghold Overseer? I use him in my mono-black lifegain deck (mutiplayer casual deck that's got gary's and exsanguinate's and all the good stuff) and he seems to help the deck a fair amount.

Darksteel Plate is $7? Wew lad, I though it would be $3 at max. There's a 4 mana auara that does the same, I forgot its name right now.

Because people get buttblasted when you attack their resources, even though it's a valid fucking strategy.

WotC is caught up in an eternal cycle of slapping themselves on the back of the head and then slapping the guy for slapping them.
There cannot be any good counters, land destruction or other old, powerful effects anymore.
Then shit gets powerful that would have been kept in check by these effects, like mana bases get too greedy or combo spirals out of control.
So now need to keep that from happening, so we cannot have any meaningful ramp or lands anymore.
Repeat until it's complete shit.

It's a completely uncompetetive fatty that might work out in some casual decks.
You basically gave the answer yourself.

Meh. It's a 5/5 unblockable that can de-buff creatures during either player's combat step.

I play casual, so we use any card we want (which sadly means sometimes, someone makes something very disgusting and evil). I use Shielded by Faith or That Which Was Taken (only got one). There's a couple of other cards that make him immune to damage but they're not coming to mind yet.
