This does not help Strata Scythe or Armored Ascension. So no, its not strictly better then a basic plains.
Its stronger in most decks, but not those that care about basic lands.

Now among the most expensive cards from Legends... English near mint ones are over 50 Euros by now!
I have one which I'd rate EX, dunno how much I paid for it back in the 90s, but can't have been more than a few bucks... :D

Can you imagine the price tag ($100 at least as of this writing) if this thing was a rare?!

Why is this so expensive? I mean, it's good, but is there really that much of a demand for situational Legacy cards?
Legacy must be way more popular elsewhere than it is near me.
EDIT: Sorry, Claytoon, I guess I could have been more clear. I fully understand the power of this card. It's the vast number of people playing Legacy that such a high price implies that mystifies me. For me, other Legacy players are like dark matter -- the numbers say they're out there, but where?!
When I bust out even the most casual Legacy deck in any of the groups that are nice enough to let me play with them, you'd think I was trying to awaken Great Cthulhu himself from the heat I get. And yeah, competitive Legacy is a thing, if not my thing, but it's a tiny blip compared to Modern and Standard, publicity-wise.
