Will Burning Land destroy Field Spell cards only at activation,
or, as a continous effect, destroy every field spell that
comes into play as long as it lasts face-up?

It is a continuous effect. At resolution, all field spell card are destroyed. As long as this card is faced up, any spell card will be destroyed automatically.

I have a question though:
1) Can you set a Field Spell Card on the Field Zone?
2) If you can, does your opponent has to make sure it is a Field Spell Card. Do you have to show it to them?
3) If you can, does it also get destroyed?

I believe that It initially destroys all field Spell cards that are on the field. That is it's FIRST effect.......... then thereafter during each of your respective standby phases that person takes 500 damage to LP... .here is the erratad text to the card

Burning Land
(Pharaoh's Servant, Dark Beginning 1)
Destroy all Field Spell Cards on the field. Inflict 500 points of damage to each player's Life Points during his/her Standby Phase.


hmmm.. i must be tired cuz now i am talking myself into thinking that it ... no it doesnt say negate other field spell cards as long as this is on the field, so that would lead me to believe that that is just the initial effect of the card... and the 500 damage is the continuous part of the effect..

it only destroys the fields cards at its resolution, but you can then place another field without getting it destroyed.
For Raigeick, you can set a field spell card in your field card zone, you don`t have to show it but it must be a field.

I think you can set a field spell card, as you can set any other spell cards.
If you put another type of card instead of a field spell card in the field, your opponent doesn't have the right to look at it, the same way (s)he can't look on your monster zone to check if you have played a monster or a trap for example in that monster zone.
A card that is set in the wrong place is considered in IMO as a illegal play, and you loose the game (not the entire duel). But i think some kind of rule had been released on that, if someone has enough time to search ^^ (perhaps UDE Mantis Software Appendix ?)

Destroys all Field Magic Cards on the field. In addition, both players take 500 points of Direct Damage during each of their respective Standby Phases.

well from the text it looks like a continous destruction >.>

You can certainly set field cards, it's even in the Rulebook V4.0 (though I know there are problems with that one!), though you cannot set some other type of spell card there for obvious reasons (Field Card Zone! You'd be surprised how often I get asked about setting other spells there or setting Field Cards in the main Spell and Trap Zone).
I really don't see the big deal with showing your opponent your field card, they're going to see it eventually and chances are they can guess which one it is from the deck type you're playing. Keeping your opponent in the dark as to which one it is has a very limited usefulness.

Burning Land destroys Field Spell Cards regardless of it being face-up or set. A Field Spell Card set in the "Field Card Zone" is still a "Field Spell Card". No other card can be set there.

Burning Land is a continuous effect and will destroy any Field Card active or set while also dealing 500 damage to each player on the next Standby.

Thats really cool ^^
Ain't it nice sidedeck material against Ocean and Gravekeeper decks?
Especially in my Burner I considered playing it for
a) getting rid of the damn ocean ^^
b) the Burn effect is also nice.

Its effect being a one time effect would have decreased its playability by a lot, so I'm glad it also prevents from placing a new ocean etc (except you want it immediately destroyed ^^)

Well the ARRJ says that you only need there to be a card in the Field Card Zone and since Burning Land can destroy face down Field cards I'd say you'd be safe enough activating it against a set Field card, but there does need to at least be a Field Card set on the field if there are no active ones.

I'm not so sure that it does continue to destroy Field cards that are played while it is already active. I've posted this question to the judges list. I can see arguements both ways but my leaning is toward it not destroying them other than at the initial activation.

The Netrepâ„¢ Files 6.0b states that it continually destroys any Field Magic that is activated immediately while it is active. Maybe it has changed.

specifically: "Field Cards played while "Burning Land" is active are immediately destroyed."

I don't think its necessary to have a set or active Field Spell Card on the field to activate Burning Land. You can activate it to use its second effect.

The ruling is that you DO have to have a field card on the field in order to activate it. The ruling does not specify if it has to be active or not.

Here is Mr. Curtis Schultz answer about Burning Land (can be found in this link here):

Does Burning land continue to destroy Field cards that are played while it
is active on the field?

Answer:
No.

The field-destruction effect is a one-time deal that only happens when the
card first resolves. (Much like "Swords of Revealing Light's" flipping
of face-down monsters)

The only continuous effect is the damage it inflicts.
