A really powerful card, and it's important to note that as a land, it is uncounterable and free to play, and can be used in any color deck. Oddly fitting that Legends, a set filled with junky gold creatures, has in this, one of the most powerful anti-creature tech cards in existence. And there were tons of ways to make an opponent hurt for mana too, with so much land destruction (Sinkhole, Ice Storm, Stone Rain, Strip Mine), or resource-stealing and forced taps (Power Sink, Mana Short).
Even now this could slow token decks down to a crawl, and potentially kill some of the best creatures - with no mana, Blightsteel Colossus and Progenitus die too. All for 0 mana. Truly one of the most powerful non-mana producing lands in the game.

The legends set was chalk full of prison effects:
-This
-The Abyss
-Chains of Mephistopheles
-Invoke Prejudice
-In the eye of chaos
and probably others. What's more? People say they really enjoyed that time of magic even though Wizards avoids cards like these like the plague. The set had some really beautiful design when it came to enchants and lands.

with Living Plane and some additional mana source you could freeze your opponent. Really one of the most powerful lands in MTG

Lands should not be able to cause so much trouble...

Really good card, but what's more amazing is how this card shot up to almost $200 from a meager $40 or so.

Not quite as good as library of alexandria or bazaar of baghdad, but it's close.

I love this card in my non-creature deck. I find running no creatures gives you card advantage because your opponents' creature control cards are useless. The Tabernacle helps you manage a creatureless board. I just want to know, Vorthosianly, what is it and why does it give creatures cold feet?
