what is the reasoning behind play stone rain over char?

Seriously? Are You Seriously asking that question.

obviously yes, Char should have been in that deck, but umm...

THE DECk IS BASED AROUND LAND DESTRUCTION!

Therefore Stone Rain>Char.....

Indeed. I have many other ways to kill creatures, but I had to play every LD spell I had, or I might as well play none of them.

When I got that pool, I probably could have built a straight up Black/Red Aggro deck but I know when you draft the Cube, there are Archetypes to fit in and I wanted to try one as I wont have an opportunity to draft a cube.

If you're commiting to mana denial, why did you leave the babboons and wildfire (burning of xinye) out of your deck?

I thought about both, but I felt the baboons we're a bit too narrow, and the burning of xinye cost too much red. Had I had more red cards, I woulda played the latter most likely, but I didnt.
