Back then, green had so few ways of handling artifacts, this card may have seen some play. Eventually, green was granted a ton of anti-artifact abilities, so this card isn't of any use today.

@nopeavi, that wouldn't work. Lands have the tap symbol, so turning them into artifacts wouldn't trigger this card at all.

@Earthdawn, no, nope.avi is right - the lands still become tapped (hence the first condition for triggering).
I wonder why they have to add the "doesn't have the tap symbol" clause. Perhaps to remove confusion if an artifact's activated ability taps it (does Powerleech trigger once or twice)?
Interesting (but not outstanding) way of punishing artifacts.

Thoughtleech for artifacts instead of Islands.
