Card text

Destroy target land, then Roiling Terrain deals damage to that land's controller equal to the number of land cards in that player's graveyard.

"The trembling lands ruptured, leaving an open door for things from below to emerge." —Screed of the Mul Daya

Rulings

If the targeted land is an illegal target by the time Roiling Terrain resolves, the entire spell doesn’t resolve. No damage will be dealt.

The effects of the spell happen in sequence. By the time Roiling Terrain checks how many land cards are in the affected player’s graveyard, the land Roiling Terrain destroyed is (most likely) already in that graveyard.

If the targeted land regenerates or has indestructible, Roiling Terrain still deals damage to the targeted land’s controller.
