hahaha? Its great im Kombo with Mangara of Corondor. Its great to bounce Legends, bounce Legends of Opponent. Its better than a Plains. Its without revenant drawback, only that is Legendary.

I like randomly playing one of these instead of a Plains when I can. No one else plays it, so the Legendary status doesn't matter, and once in a while it's really relevant. A bunch of decks play some random Legends, so Karakas can be a real pain.
Still, it's not that great of a card.

In casual, there's really no downside to throwing one in a deck in lieu of a Plains.

Why isn't this a 5? It's not exciting, but it's something to throw in for a basic plains. It's ability is very useful considering it costs nothing, has no downsides. There's nothing wrong with this card! It's perfect! Well, that's putting it a little strongly. But I don't understand why anyone would rate this down.

It never hurts to throw this into a white deck, being able to repeatedly bounce a legendary creature for free each turn is always great, this is strictly better than a Plains.The best of this cycle as well...

Great card. Certainly better than the other "strictly-better" lands in the cycle, like Urborg or Tolaria.
anyone saying "strictly better than plains" has obviously never heard of wasteland...

Sooner or later Hugo Chavez will prosecute Wizard's for using the capital of the Republica Bolivariana in an obviously capitalist game, that pretends to twist reality and colonize minds by using United statetian poetry in detriment of patriotic verses like Salias' , with not other purpose than to provoke and sully the good name of Caracas.

Wow this card shot up in price, maybe because of EDH? I don't play it but poeple seem to think it's really good in that. I bought a couple of these on ebay no more than a couple years ago for a few bucks, now they are at least $20 each.

Obligatory one-of in any legacy deck with white in it, seeing as it's just a Plains but better.

Now among the most expensive cards from Legends... English near mint ones are over 50 Euros by now!
I have one which I'd rate EX, dunno how much I paid for it back in the 90s, but can't have been more than a few bucks... :D

Guest57443454 : This card is NOT strictly better than plains. Not by ANY MEANS. This can be destroyed by non basic land removal, this can be destroyed by an opponent copying it, it can be hit by Sowing Salt, you can only run 4 of these, and only have one out at a time, this can be smacked by Blood Moon, this is subject to legendary removal, this won't count towards plains-counting cards, this can't be sac-landed into, this can't be searched for with half of the land accel cards out there, NEED I go on? This is an EXCELLENT card, but it is NOT strictly better than plains

This does not help Strata Scythe or Armored Ascension. So no, its not strictly better then a basic plains. Its stronger in most decks, but not those that care about basic lands.

Can you imagine the price tag ($100 at least as of this writing) if this thing was a rare?!

Mainstay: Yes there really is that much of a demand to bounce legendaries in Legacy.
Without Karakas, Griselbrand/Emrakul will just run unchecked vs certain decks (Death and Taxes).
Karakas also wrecks Legacy Reanimator.

Why is this so expensive? I mean, it's good, but is there really that much of a demand for situational Legacy cards?
Legacy must be way more popular elsewhere than it is near me.
EDIT: Sorry, Claytoon, I guess I could have been more clear. I fully understand the power of this card. It's the vast number of people playing Legacy that such a high price implies that mystifies me. For me, other Legacy players are like dark matter -- the numbers say they're out there, but where?!
When I bust out even the most casual Legacy deck in any of the groups that are nice enough to let me play with them, you'd think I was trying to awaken Great Cthulhu himself from the heat I get. And yeah, competitive Legacy is a thing, if not my thing, but it's a tiny blip compared to Modern and Standard, publicity-wise.
