Say hello to a little manland control. And you get a card on top of taking out a raging Ravine. Nice.

Excellent against non-basic lands, even if they are blue like Magosi, the Waterveil.

I run 4x this in my U/B deck, and it's perhaps one of the most efficient cards in the deck. I cannot over-emphasize the number of games I've one simply by mana-screwing my opponent in the early game, or even the entire time. Seriously, I've had a lot of games where my opponent's entire hand is backed up and unplayable because I screw him out of one kind of mana; Jund especially gets hosed by this thing. The fact that it replaces itself is just icing on the cake.
Also, it's hilarious when your opponent is so happy to get a man-land...only for it to turn into an island.

Your man-land is now an Island and it only cost me {1}{U}. I don't even lose the card.

Not as flexible as convincing mirage, but the card draw at the same cost would seem to be a bigger benefit. You also get to hose your opponent's mana base and provide landwalking lanes for your many islandwalking creatures.
4/5

Guys, comeon. This is crazy fantastic. Really. Think about it a cantrip and mana screw up. Play it on Jund's precious Savage Lands, and now all it can produce it U. Comeon guys!

Surprising popular tech, good against alara block cards, and man lands. This card will lose effectiveness when alara and popular triple color decks rotate out, but cantrip shenagins cards are never worthless.

I love hearing the groans whenever I play this. It is obviously a sideboard card against multicolor decks. Drawing the card is a nice added effect too.

Not exactly effective when it comes to Mono-coloured decks, but who really plays mono-coloured standard? (excluding myself, of course)
As listed by StreamHopper, this card gives you many good bonuses without any drawbacks.
Although, it doesn't make for amazing late-game material (since they can still use that land for colourless mana)

This used to be a 4-of when jund was running rampant. In zendikar-som standard it kinda died
