While this Rayquaza was once regarded as the top chase card from Evolving Skies, it has since been usurped by a worthy heir to its throne: Umbreon
Noncreature spells were limited a bit, turning into "artifact, instant, and sorcery spells." I believe that change was part power, part flavor
Don't get me wrong, you're not completely unhappy casting this for four in the early- to mid-game to remove a utility creature that's giving you conniptions, but in reality, the only time you want to see this is when you have 40 mana available
I realize that it is a casual favorite, but the card is a trap that leads to really bad play experiences way too often and I worry about new players picking up this deck, drawing Temple of the False God as their fourth land, and then stalling on drawing another land for a couple of turns
Has a reasonable amount of ramp thanks to various mana rocks
