the zendikar/onslaught fetchlands are better (the land doesn't come into play tapped, or alternately you can fetch a ravnica dual land), but they're also 10+ bucks while this is a 25 cent common.

Honestly, unless you're going full-out aggro and cannot stand lands coming in tapped,
There is no reason not to run four of these.
It's deck thinning.
Getting out all your lands so you can run into spells to use those lands on.
Anytime I draw one of these, it may seem like a slump in my tempo,
But I know that the next cards I get could have been that land I just took out, which may have slowed me even more.

Small loss of tempo but in playing with Vivid's my experience is I usually have a turn here or there where I'm not planning to use everything but still need more mana eventually. This helps get the right mana and thins your deck and works great with landfall.

Goes great with landfall.

This land would simply be very good, but then landfall emerged and makes it GREAT. This land is really a 2 for 1 anytime landfall is involved; once when it hits, and again when it fetches. One of these guys can turn your Baloth Woodcrasher into a mage-slayer.
4.5/5

Entering the battlefield tapped makes it a pretty fair trade-off from the life loss from the otherwise better fetch lands.
Great art, too.

A great "wild card" fetch land. Fetch any basic lands that u desire. Works well with Amulet of Vigor.

I just realized that they took out the flavor text for the m10 reprint. I am especially unhappy with that decision because I thought Terramorphic Expanse had one of the coolest and most enigmatic flavor texts ever.

Beats the pants off of any other land fetching spell, as it's a free deck-thinner.
