Works really well in G/W decks that have instants that bring cards sent to the greave yard back. If you play with a Sol Ring and Pearl Medallion, you can play it turn for with Second Sunrise, and have 8 mana, plus 2 colorless plus all white spells cost one colorless less to play. Massive mana advantage. You can summon the biggest white beaters in the game turn 5. Works really well in multi-player.

I think I'd use Teferi's Realm to phase my lands out.. with I guess Omnath, Locus of Mana to float some to cast it.

Still, it's not a trigger, I think.
It says "As this enters the battlefield," rather than "when." It won't go on the stack, similar to how Meddling Mage's card naming ability doesn't use the stack and can't be responded to. You'll never even be able to float your doubled mana before your lands go away, let alone stifle the trigger.

It is NOT an additional cost.
So that means you can Stifle (or similar) that bit.

@mode
it says "as overlaid terrain comes into play, sacrifice all lands you control."
that is not additional cost wording
you're thinking of something along the lines of Goblin Grenade or Harrow. those specifically say "as an additional cost."
this is more of a triggered ability, so it's possible you could beat it using Sundial of the Infinite

This card isnt the best card, but its a fun card in a casual deck or a big multiplayer game. A fun strategy to use this card in a casual deck is to use mana ramp spells to lay out your lands fast, then you can use cards like entomb to put realm razer into your graveyard. You then tap all you lands to float your mana, play a spell similar to reanimate targeting realm razer, then with your remaining mana cast this enchantment and then you can choose to use realm razer as a beat stick or sacrifice foder to get your lands back thus by pass this cards weak point. not the best mana accelerant but a fun combo card
