I play mono-black (meaning i could use this) and even i am upset about this, its ridicolous and at common status?! WTF is going on wizards, you just decide to make rise from the grave and disentomb useless and fart on bloodghast's face like this, i can already imagine myself cursing wizards when this is played against me, its absurd, just extremely absurd, a card like this simply should not exist but i you want to print this efect then make it 5cmc sorcery at the least, they get to clear my graveyard for free.

Wizards apparently indeed wants to provide players with the best graveyard hate possible for their sideboards.
I agree with ClowWizardEriol, they make exiling cards in the graveyard easier and easier.
Playing this land is like playing a Swamp and casting a cantrip for 
which can't be countered.
And since it's a cip/etb effect you could even make use of this land's ability more than once.
Relic of Progenitus was already an improved version of Scrabbling Claws, which was an improved version of Phyrexian Furnace. This is a pretty unevitable Tormod's Crypt which is part of your mana base at the same time.
And as opposed to the Relic, it won't even empty your graveyard.

This is like throwing turd in the face of every card with the potential to gain so much benefit from the graveyard. aka BloodGhast, Vengevine, Living Death......

It sure won't stay worth 20 dollars when they are last picks in draft after a couple weeks. I don't feel sorry for anyone I traded my Crypt of Agadeem to now. I can main board 2 of these and save space on my side board. Unearth breaks control so **** um. I should be able to win tournaments with straight control and not have to dedicate my whole side board to one deck type.

Oh, I don't know if this is going to "break" graveyard/dredge strategies. As time goes on, strats that use graveyard manipulation have gone up drastically in power. I think WotC sees this is a balance against the sheer power of this strat.
1) Realistically, will people main deck these? Probably not, since you can't fetch it, and it's not a dual land. That's one spot that could be used for mana fixing.
2)Dredge decks can often survive a few graveyard exiles. In two more turns they can have an Iona on the board.
3) This isn't an instant speed removal, so it can't be used in response to their actions. Instead, dredge can respond to *it*.
It might see spots in some sideboards, but probably not. Ravenous trap is 0 to cost and instant and doesn't screw up your mana base. In any case, you'll likely not see this AND relic of progenitus AND ravenous trap AND tormod's crypts in the same sideboard. Probably just 1 of those.

Nasty. Unearth decks will hate this card with a passion. There seems to be a lot of cards interacting with "Exile" effects, like MIrror of Fate, so would you, in a deck built for it, want to hit yourself with this?

Why is this worth 20 dollars?? I mean, it brutally rapes dredge, but a 20-dollar common? Really?
