I, for the life of me, cannot figure out why people don't like this.
I keep looking for a real drawback to running 1 in any deck, but aside from the colorless mana I don't see it.
Many decks run curves of 3 mana or less with spells not being color intensive; in any deck that occasionally gets mana-screwed, wastelanded, etc, this guy nets you as much as 5-10 life over the course of a game.
Won't happen that often as a 1-2 of in your deck; but it's really not that bad for being "legendary" and colorless. 2-stars does not do this justice. As a 1-of in pox? You'll be gaining health all game to replace the life you're slowly sapping.
4/5

Yeah, calling this one of the "worst lands ever" is kind of a joke. Not great for certain, but comes into play untapped and produces mana. Those alone qualify it as "fine" at least.

Don't run it with colours. Drawback eliminated. Yeah sure, the 1 life isn't a huge deal, but in an all artifact deck it's 100% upside. IT'S NOT A BAD CARD. 3.5/5

Oh my... that art is absolutely stunning. I wish I could get Rob Alexander to draw me a large version of this... The older non-basic land borders are a nice colour, and they work well with this. Undiscovered Paradise is another land that works well.
Ability-wise, at least it doesn't come into play tapped. A little bit of life can make or break a game. Otherwise, you may be better with just a basic land.
