Awesome for responding to Terror, Incinerate and such.

If your deck has very forgiving colored mana needs, then why not? Sacrifice outlets can come in handy sometimes.

This land has many potential uses, such as Savra, Queen of the Golgari, Grave Pact or even just using it in response to someone stealing a potential game ending fatty or keeping them from getting it back. I run one in every EDH deck for a just in case, and I beleive it's worthy of rare status simply because it's a FREE sack outlet.

Well, I linked this card to False Prophet, as they combo for an instant speed Final Judgment. :) Let's not forget the many red card that can take control of enemy creatures for one turn.

There are better sacrifice outlets, though. My favorite would be Goblin Bombardment. Only requires 1 colored mana of the two, but it doesn't eat your land drop for the turn. If the color is the issue, consider Claws of Gix.

This card was good with the old combat rules - sac your creature in response to combat damage for extra life. It's the same reason Diamond Valley was good; this just produces mana too.

Fairly awful. Should have been a common or uncommon.

According to the flavourtext, there's no such thing as darksteel.

It's a land that also functions as a sacrifice outlet..sometimes you want stuff to go to the graveyard...
Looks like colored mana can't be had on any world. Or more than one life point, for that matter.

Fun to use with cards like Act of Treason or Mark of Mutiny. It also means that whenever an opponent Doom Blades a creature of yours, you can gain 1 life.

Eh. I'd play it in a mono or colorless deck. It's a sac outlet and you can get life for chump-blocking and in response to doom blade.
Actually now that I think about it it's better than it looks.

Not worth the rare spot, but still useful.

It's a nonbasic land with a built-in (pretty dang useful) ability that doesn't come into play tapped. Yes, it should be rare.
