I have yet to find someone actually running land destruction in their deck, it's such a hated mechanic.

That's because WOTC's balance team makes it bad on purpose. Most land destruction is either hilariously overcosted or limited to nonbasics.

There should probably be more nonbasic land hate, though. Lands decks can be pretty hard to interact with.
