@NoobOfLore & EternalLurker...
ForOfTrumps, unless he has edited the text, is clearly describing using Darksteel Garrison to protect the Lotus Vale FROM destruction, not to stop something being sacrificed.

I honestly would love to own and run this card. I just wish it wasn't such a huge target for bounce and destruction. Even Ghost Quarter leaves you terrified to drop this beauty, and Terra Eternal doesn't stop all the blue bounce that isn't nice enough to say non-land

There is difference, if you have less lands than opponet, cards like land tax trigger. Also if you use crucible of worlds, ley druid & friends or any other land punishment, you get an advantage, but even if you don't use this cards, it still means any color, wich is non-drawback fixer. Also, it work's nice with gemstone mine, since it gives you the oportunity to recycle them.

It can be a good match for Second Sunrise, or Life From the Loam. Can get you infinite mana of any color pretty fast with a vast number of two other cards.

How could this be a reprint of Black Lotus? Can you tap this, then sacrifice it to get 3 mana?
