Enchantment
At the beginning of each end step, each player who tapped a land for mana this turn sacrifices a land of their choice. This enchantment deals 2 damage to each player who sacrificed a Plains this way.
"Kill a creature, destroy the present. Kill the land, destroy the future."

- It works even if it was not on the battlefield when the land was tapped for mana.
- Each Desolation only causes up to one land per turn to be sacrificed. If you have more than one, each will do this.
