This card, and From the Vault: Realms, is the reason why "From the Vault: Deck" may be an actual real thing someday in the future, at 'semi-casual' tables only. Think seriously: Commander is a so-called Casual Format, but it costs about as much as Legacy, really, especially when you just HAVE to bling out your favorite cards. 'Casual' is not actually the same thing as 'Budget'.
Well, this card and the fact that Jace, the Mind Sculptor and Hymn to Tourach play really freaking well together XD
Because it would ultimately be still an unwieldy deck with a bad mana base, I would say every card in an attempted "From the Vault: Deck" should be permissible as a 4-of. 4 Sol Ring, 4 Nevinyrral's Disk, and 4 Balance is specifically why you should not laugh this idea off so quickly despite the admittedly almost-awful mana. Realms doesn't give you everything you Want but it gives you everythin... (see all)

I'm probably wrong, but doesn't the card's new text prevent it from ever entering the battlefield? Since the resolution of its "would enter the battlefield" triggered ability puts it onto the battlefield, wouldn't that just trigger its own "would enter the battlefield" ability again?

@CJOLL4: No, this is not a triggered ability, it's a replacement effect. A trigger would start with "when Mox enters the battlefield...". An replacement such as "if Mox would enter the battlefield..." applies only once to an event, and doesn't use the stack: you simply discard a land at the moment Mox is going to enter. If you do, Mox does enter; if you don't, Mox goes to the graveyard.

Masticore, Memory Jar, and Mox Diamond are all on the reserved list... and yet Wizards reprinted them. OOPS.
