If it didn't have that ruling it would be almost strictly better than black lotus

I don't see what is so good about this land. You need to sacrifice 2 untapped lands to bring this into play. That means that your net mana (3) is the same as if you had used a basic land. The only difference is that you can get 3 of any color mana. This is also a HUGE target when it comes into play because if it's destroyed you lose 3 cards for your opponent's 1 card. Even a Boomerang will be painful since you still lost 2 lands. There are MUCH better ways of getting any color mana nowadays. They could have made this card so that it didn't have such a huge downside. Maybe sacrifice 1 untapped land and have it produce only 2 mana instead.

If it would at all without saccing the lands then you could tap it for mana in response to the triggered ability requiring you to sack it, essentially making it a new black lotus. For this reason stifle won't work, with the oracle text, it doesn't resolve on the battlefield at all if you don't sack the lands. .

I think that one of the good things about this card is that it can give you more mana to work with for one turn, since you can sac two tapped lands for this, and you still stay on curve. If you're nervous about destruction, there's always Darksteel Garrison.

Some hopefully helpful comments--

Replacement effects are static effects and don't use the stack. If you don't sacrifice the lands, you never even get to the point where you're *trying* to put it into play. Your attempt is replaced with "put Lotus Vale in your graveyard." There's no card in the game that stifles a replacement effect. If you really want a brainteaser, consider: what happens when you use the static replacement effect of Vesuva naming Lotus Vale?
