Usually easier to use a Tithe due to instant speed, and that it's not dead late game (still grabs you a plains.) Still, this is a 3-for-1 that if you can get off on T2 or T3 guarantees you'll make it to the late game. Next turn you'll be Wrath of Goding if things didnt' go well, and the turn after you jump into fat territory. Baneslayer, Sun Titan, you name it.

The advantage of Land Tax was you could avoid dropping the land to thin you deck and keep your hand full for cards like Ivory Tower. This card is good for getting non-basic plains. So with the exception of Mistveil Plains both cards can get the mana type that you need either with basic land or dual/shock land. That is if you don't Magical Hack to get the other Shadowmoor lands, Murmuring Bosk , or Dryad Arbor. If given the option between the two cards I believe most people would always pick tax or gift.
