Besides like a Strip Mine or something, this is the cheapest it gets for land destruction

Super speedy land destruction, and also quite powerful in conjunction with Crucible of Worlds. However, this is devastating in the opening turns even without the Crucible, especially if your deck is built for early punishes, with alternate early non-land mana like Lotus Petal. This card just gets better and better as time goes on, particularly against Ravnican "Karoo" lands or Shock-lands. A Mountain is a small price to pay in many cases.

Great with Flagstones, good to use with cheap beaters like Goblin Guide, Tattermunge, etc..
People don't complain Dark Ritual is a 2-for-1. If you consider the fact that doing this can cost them a card if they missed their T1 play, you cause a discard anyway, turning this into card-neutral.

There's a reason it's not very good, that reason is tempo. It is not an equal deal with the opponent, and you're the one getting the shit end of the stick. You are down a card, a land, and you spent mana you could have spent bolting or casting dig spells. All they lost was a land, using this card generally puts you in a really bad spot, but it's nice against utility lands.
