Magmatic Hellkite
Creature — Dragon
Flying
When this enters, destroy target nonbasic land an opponent controls. Its controller searches their library for a basic land card, puts it onto the battlefield tapped with a stun counter on it, then shuffles. (If a permanent with a stun counter would become untapped, remove a stun counter from it instead.)

artcwolf22 Ha why thankyou! I have actually been revisiting this list recently and I'll probably post an updated version, likely pure Gruul. Yeah Emry could be great in Temur and I did play a version with her and Tamiyo but I've decided against running these sort of creatures for 2 reasons: The first is obviously I'd like to run spicier cards like Squelch because those are just cooler and more fun to me, also Squelch really is the next best land destruction card I think.
The second reason is more legit, and that is both Emry and Tamiyo provide 0 value in the face of removal. So if Emry gets fatal pushed same turn you never get to use it which = a 1-for-1 or basically counterspell for 1 mana, which could also ruin your whole plan if you were relying on the Emry. Same story with Ragavan. You'll notice almost every creature in this deck provides some kind of immediate lasting value that isn't undone by single-target removal. i.e. Gleeful makes 3 bodies, Mycospawn is a body and a land (saga for 2 more bodies), Charmaw is a body + land destruction (and it's push-proof which is why better than Magmatic Hellkite). All together this makes the deck naturally extra grindy against the top decks like energy, frogtide, and blink which are all very heavy on targeted creature removal. That's part of the idea anyways. Thanks for the suggestion though I think with a more traditional affinity-y build you're right you could definitely run Emry and Tamiyo in a boom/bust list!
