Man, are the akki ever weird-looking - still, they are distinctive, so that's gotta be a point in their favour.
As far as goblins for 
go, they're pretty low on the totem pole, but I wouldn't say they're useless. For a hyper-aggressive deck (sligh, for example, as Maraxas-of-Keld pointed out), you're not gonna care about losing your lands if it means your opponent is dead. The ability doesn't actually cost any mana, which is certainly a plus - lets you Lightning Bolt 'em in the face and then sac the mountain for bonus damage, if your guy is unblocked!

This guy is good in sligh, since your goal is to get your men through anyways. This guy pushes the last points through.

Only really useful as a 1/1 early on and as a 3/1 if he is finishing a foe off, sacrificing your first land won't help very much early on.

TERMINATE him and let Demigod of Revenge rule all of the spirit avatars!

Pretty powerful I thought.
Then I read the "Play this ability only once per turn" clause.
1/5

Would have been a cornerstone of sligh if the didn't print the 'only activate this ability once a turn'
