Basically a Land Sol Ring, just for Legendary? That's great by me! You people have zero imagination (at least you can see as far as Sisay's summons, I guess).
There's tons of lands and other cards with rather restricted usefulness, but still have great uses! You have to compare them with what they are meant for: in this case KAMIGAWA, which has plenty of Legends for it to work with. It's not meant to be the answer to your mana problems in Theros or whatever.
And what's wrong with me liking Colorless EDH? Just because I'll more easily roll a Myr Battleshpere over your head? Or Lux Cannon your Commander? Why NOT use Eldrazi Champions?
Really, people who can't use anything but Rares/Legends are the REASON Un-sets should be allowed, if only for a single card: Rare-B-Gone. Rather than complain about everything that's not overpowered and glorify those that are, try actually making interesting decks, using a better balance of commons and such. It's more fun than you see... (see all)

If it didn't come into play tapped, this might be playable in Legend-heavy Kamigawa block. Add "Legendary spells cast with this mana can't be countered" and you have yourself a playable land.

This is one of the, if not THE, lowest-ranked card in existance. Still don't understand why it doesn't make a good bookmark, though.

I assume you meant 10/3/10 , not 10/3/11, because that's when your comment was.

Beautiful art, breath-taking flavor, completely fail mechanics.

This may have its uses in EDH. For that, it gets +0.5. 1*

I bet that Ancient Tomb is located directly below this tower.

Uuuh... well, it works in an Ulamog EDH, I suppose... Funny how EDH can make all sort of crap playable. Even Hall of the Bandit Lord sees play in EDH.

The great insult here, the TRULY great insult, is that this is a RARE.
With cards like One with Nothing you can argue it is a johnny card. Some Johnnies will love the card. It is also extremely elegant design.
But that isn't true of this card. It doesn't even do anything interesting. It has ok flavour, pretty nice art, but that doesn't excuse it. It's miserable and it's insulting to the poor kid who pulls it as their rare. At least as an uncommon, though it would come up more, you could kinda live with the loss. But some customers can't afford lots of boosters and a card like this is a slap in the face to them.
