It's made for it's own thing. I mean, you wouldn't play it in a Goblin Tribal deck, would you?
The thing that's best about it is the fact that it doesn't tap for the mana. It's not like Myr Resevoir which taps only for Myr's and such.
I'd give it 4.5 stars, because it's a land that tutors.
AKA, it's an uncounterable, free permanent that tutors.

@surewhynot and Vedalken_Arbiter:
Ugin is a Spirit Dragon (like Yosei, Keiga, Jugan, Kokusho, and Ryusei, but he's aligned with colorless magic rather than any single color. Ugin is also a Planeswalker.
Ugin along with two other Planeswalkers lured the Eldrazi to Zendikar to trap them. Ugin's ghostfire was used to activate the Eye of Ugin as the final part of the trap.
Nicol Bolas defeated and incapacitated Ugin, and delved into Ugin's mind for information about the Eldrazi and the Eye of Ugin. Bolas sent Sarkhan Vol to the Eye to guard it, but by that point Sarkhan had gone off the deep end and when he encountered Chandra Nalaar he practically acted as a tour guide.
Chandra found the Eye after following a map she had stolen, along with a scroll containing the Breath of Ugin spell (ghostfire); au... (see all)

"I hope there will be some Eldrazi creatures in the third set. "
The old comments on this card are hillarious.

Whoa, a tutor effect on a land? That's got to be good for EDH.

Give this card four months. You're gonna wish you didn't throw yours away.

Very clever, Wizards. You got everyone curious. Yes, I do plan on buying a playset. You cunning bastards! :P

This cards potential cannot be determined until the release of "Rise of the Eldrazi", until then its Steamflogger :P

Oh look, they made Steamflogger Boss mythic with the counterbalance that its use would be realized MUCH faster than the Rigger Boss'. I will cry if I pull this in a draft, but I will probably take it in my insanity, because, since it's legendary, it has to have some OMFGAMAZING use in RotE. I believe it was MaRo who said that legendary lands are something the R&D team REALLY want to cut down on, so one's inclusion, much less one that's mythic and doesn't produce mana, really intrigues me.
It's going to be a long three months, methinks...

So who/what's Ugin? Also, why is it that the Eldrazi, which "transcend mana colors" only exist in Black, Green, and Red? Is this Rise of the JUNDrazi?
