This card is great... gets you the land you need and thins out your library. All that for just one white mana... what a deal. Just don't use an Enlightened Tutor the turn before and the forget that the card you tutored for is sitting on top before you decide to use this.

Pimpin' ain't easy.
I like Tithe as an alternative too, since it isn't banned from Legacy.

This card is absolutely devastating when executed correctly. The speed this card grants to aggressive white decks is amazing. It puts serious pressure on the opponent, especially in the early game. One of these dropped on turn one essentially nets you an Ancestral Recall. A few turns later, it forces your opponent into the difficult decision of staying on their current land count (if they happened to be tied with you in number of lands) or going ahead, furthering their development but causing yours to take a huge jump.
Long story short, this card is excellent.
5/5

With seismic assault you search out three shocks a turn. Not that hard to combo since this card super mana-fixes for you.

Will someone please explain to me if there is any reason not to do this:
Land Tax + Kaalia of the Vast + Demonic Hordes
= Free 5/5 Demon on turn 4 (power out Kaalia on turn 3 if at all possible) Tap: Strip Mine, then get 2 lands.
{B}{B}{B} is not hard to pay in Commander.
I think you should be able to pull it off Turn 3. (using excessive amounts of gold lands)

This will likely not stay unbanned in Legacy... 5/5 Stars

This actually ridiculous. Deck thinning at its finest.
This is why green is the colour it is - with ENVY.
And the two both have enchantment destroying spells... must be a reason...

@Hunter06 Why? The ONLY decks in Legacy that runs this is Parfait and U/W Control (and in U/W Control, it's usually a two-of at most). And Parfait is an extremely underrepresented archetype. Wx doesn't run this; D&T doesn't either. No reason to re-ban Land Tax.

Summer Bloom. A 2-drop spell that let's you dump your freebies painlessly? They MADE Summer Bloom for this card.
