Well, in T2 land destruction still is not fast and consistent enough to win you tournaments. Believe me, I've been trying for ages. It all depends on the opponent's deck and your draw. And with my drawing, it's just not viable.
HOWEVER, T1 land destruction is starting to become extremely scary with the addition of Wasteland. A deck like
4 Strip
4 Wasteland
4 Icestorm
4 Stone Rain
4 Hordes
4 Ernies
4 Pillage
4 Mox Monkeys
4 Tinder Walls
4 Wall of Roots
4 Bolts
With 4 Emissaries between main deck and SB... this is becoming too fast. And uncounterable. Although a well-placed Chill or 2 just sucks.
And I *LOVE* Wasteland. If only for totally killing Counterpost. Games could go like "drop Outpost", "hey, I got 4 Wastelands in this deck", "okay, that's game."
