one downfall to this, which i'm surprised no one else sees, is landwalk. in the same instant, as a perk, it makes all your landhome work very well.

Great card for any deck 3-5 colors!!! Low cost means possible early mana of all colors. Only con to card would be one out means any in hand are just dead weight till one in play is gone. But still rocks!!

Am I missing something? Why hasn't this show up in a scapeshift/Valakut combo deck yet? Is there some kind of evil downside that I'm missing?

Situationally better or worse then Joiner Adept
Pros:
Harder to kill
Interacts with Domain and other cards
Allows the rare lands from zendikar to activate.
Cons:
makes every Landwalk work against you
does not effect land searching.
Increases vulnerability to land hate.

@Sironis: Those attributes are characteristics of Shadowmoor. Shadowmoor is Lorwyn's opposite in that it is always night. Where Lorwyn was idyllic, Shadowmoor is supposed to be spooky. A lot of the other cards in Shadowmoor have similar landscapes in the background due to this. For another example, check out the Shadowmoor version of Armored Ascension, or the backgrounds of some Elvish cards like Elvish Hexhunter. The look fits Black and Red cards to an extent, so it doesn't look out of place for them. It's sort of like the Ravnica block, which took place in an entire plane of city - most, if not all, of the art reflects that.

I think people clued in on how good this is with Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle. It went to chilling in the dollar-rare bin to going for $15.

Quite a few people have mentioned its brilliance in 5 color decks, which is what I use it in right now, but I also used it to great effect in a BRG dragon deck because it means you always can max out your fire breathers.

4/5 for a card and 5/5 for a SLAYER logo on it \m/.
