Blood Moon wouldn't work because Valakut itself would become a normal Mountain.
Realm Razor would destroy face.

Someone just used Scapeshift and searched for 6 mountains, besides Valakut. As they entered play, he said that i just lost, and that every mountain triggers to others simultaneously, and so i took 18 damage. Is this legal? This part of the oracle is rather on my side:
Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle's triggered ability has an "intervening 'if' clause." That means (1) the ability won't trigger at all unless, at the time a Mountain enters the battlefield under your control, you control five or more Mountains other than that new one, and (2) the ability will do nothing if you control fewer than five Mountains other than that new one by the time it resolves.
But, then this part makes me wonder if that was legal:
If multiple Mountains enter the battlefield under your control at the same time, Valakut's second ability could trigger that many times. Each ability takes into consideration the other Mountains that entered the battlefield at the same time as the one that caused it to trigger.
As... (see all)

Too many mountains to activate and it comes into play tapped. I wouldn't use it.

If you changed the wording of this card to say Swamp instead of Mountain with Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth in play, things could get crazy ugly fast.

My Tectonic Edge looks hungrily at your Valakut.
As to why its not legendary... I do not understand their reasoning on lands being legendary or not. Many lands seem to indicate one, unique place that does not have any others, yet it is not legendary. Other lands that indicate a unique place are. Nonetheless, I really think this should have been legendary because multiples of it are a nightmare.

Way to many lands required for it to be usable imo. In my red aggro deck I almost always win/lose the game with less then 5 mountains in play.
Maybe if you played a very defensive mono-red deck using this, Hellfire mongrel, Obsidian Firehearth and several Wall of Fire to slowly whittle down your opponents health that it could work.

I think Primeval Titan has the market cornered on the proper way to enable valakut based strategies.
Oddly enough, this card doesn't really work in mono-red, since mono red generally doesn't want to get to the sixth land. Not that it isnt a 1-2 of in mono red, its just sub-optimal.

I always thought the artifact lands should of been legendary, as they were describing legendary places, so should this one, man it is crazy, how could this not recieve a 5/5
