I get the "Activate only as instant" clause, but that's technically Power Erreta. Was it always intended to be like that because if not then Wizards should return it to being a mana ability with no timing restrictions.

@MCcreator: The "instant speed" errata isn't a power errata; it's an errata to update the card for modern rules. When this card was printed, mana sources didn't work like that (you couldn't activate them while casting a spell; they were just the 'highest' speed, even faster than interrupts.)
They errataed this card to play as an instant when the rules were changed because that was necessary to make it function the way it had originally been designed. The same is true of Lotus Vale (it was printed before the modern stack, so you couldn't originally tap it in response to its ability triggering and it was fine for it to require the sacrifice after coming into play; but when the modern stack rules came into effect, it became possible to play it, then use it in response to its enter-play trigger, so it was necessary to change it to a substitution ability that prevents it from ever entering play if you don't sacrifice for it instead.)
