clearly in the top handful lands of all time, but I prefer Bazaar of Baghdad

There's a rumour that when the Academy was being designed, they originally had it add U for EVERY artifact, not just yours. They made it only count yours because the first version was "too powerful".
Thanks, WotC. Thanks.

@DarthParallax
It is reserved. A shame, too. IMHO the reserved list helps ensure that sets like FtV, which are ostensibly about reprinting memorable and significant cards in the history of the game, are more lackluster than they deserved to be.
It used to be that FtV and Premium Deck/Duel Deck Series were not bound by the reserved list, too. Hence why they got away with including phyrexian negator in the Phyrexia duel deck (although they really could have chosen a better card for the coalition deck, I think) and Karn, Silver Golem in FtV Relics. When the community raised its voice about the reserved list, Wizards addressed their concerns... by tightening up the policy even more.
Apparently FtV reprints don't even affect the value of a card that much, since it's such a limited print run.

Gaea's Cradle doesn't cost more because it is better, the opposite actually, it costs more because it isn't restricted.
This is better than Gaea's Cradle simply because it makes blue mana, and because artifacts are better and easier to get onto the field than creatures. The cradle is great (Especially in token decks) but it doesn't do much first turn, and it is green mana acceleration, something I think we've all seen before. This card rewards you for playing the most powerful cards in the game, and accelerates blue (This and High Tide are the only halfway decent blue acceleration).
Blue isn't supposed to be fast for a reason, blue decks can answer anything in the game sans lands, and they can maintain card advantage with ease. Blue decks weakness has to be a lack of aggro and acceleration, because it is all they can't do. This card single handedly solves one of those problems.
Combos with Cloud of fairies, ... (see all)

My friend gave me his old collection, and it had one of these in it. I'm kind of in awe. This is one of the most infamously powerful cards in the game, and now I own one.
