It's legendary, it enters the battlefield tapped, it costs you two life, and it can only help legendary spells.
Hi, crappy card, I'd like you to meet Sol Ring. Two mana, NO restrictions, costs one but accelerates your mana just as much, since it doesn't count as a land.
Also it's pronounced "Oon-tie-DAH-kay." That's the one way this card might prove lethal -- hearing its name mangled could cause you to laugh yourself to death.

The card isn't 100% TERRIBLE in EDH, its alot better than Numai Outcast, the only card rated worse than this. I considered playing it in kamigawa standard to ramp into fat legends super early, but never worked too hard at it. CITP tapped makes it too bad to use.

Why is this not a common and who the hell gave this higher than a .5?

-Its rare.
-Its legend.
-Its land.
-It comes to play tapped.
-Mana are colorness.
-Have to pay life.
-Can cast legend only.
Hopeless.

I have to agree. Why spend 2 life for 2 Colourless mana to play Legendary spells? Why not any other land which does not cost 2 life and give you coloured mana?

As of Sunday, October 3rd, 2011, this is the lowest rated card on the gatherer

Gotta give them credit for the wording. "Spend this mana only to play legendary SPELLS" rather than "creature"s leaves design space open.

Sorrow's path is worse, but this is among the worst 5 lands ever.
