Oh Man! Mudhole finally found a use! Sure it's horrible, but it's an actual use.

Indeed, Landfall triggers along with cards like Knight of the Reliquary come to mind.

Old school counter for Armageddon.

Hm, morality shift and then this = put all lands from your library into play. Just play another morality shifter afterwards to refill your library with non-land cards. :)

Sac all your lands to Zuran Orb or anything else that can benefit from sacrificed lands, then play this with Ob Nixilis, the Fallen in play.

Okay, this is a crazy combo, but...

Use with Squandered Resources and Amulet of Vigor. Here's how it works...

Tap all your lands for mana, put out Amulet of Vigor if you don't have it out yet, then sacrifice them all with Squandered Resources, Then finish up by casting THIS. You'll get all of your basic lands back, untapped. (Because of the Amulet)

In other words, you'll end up with the total mana, the total Squandered Resources mana, then you'll get it all over again! If you have two, you can repeat this indefinitely until you run out.

My Hedron Crab + Dreamscape Artist + this deck idea seemed too jankety to put together even for the sake of such a hilarious concept.

I still love this card, though, and am putting it in a landfall deck with Thaumatog as a sac outlet for the turn I use it.

Maybe interesting with Nantuko Cultivator?

Though it's a bit crazy, you can first drop a Land tax on your first turn, and then just keep discarding the lands (since you'll have more than seven cards in hand). When you've got nine or so lands in the graveyard, just slap down a amulet of vigor, play Planar Birth, and play something massive.

You'd have to be a Yu-gi-oh villain to actually have this work, but it's something to think about.

I confess I'm trying desperately to hold myself from buying a playset of these to play against mill decks. More specifically my friend's mill deck ingeniously composed of counters, Tome Scour, Glimpse the Unthinkable and Traumatize (probably the Timmiest deck blue has ever seen).
Or it could play a nice part in a deck built around getting lands on the graveyard. Harrow, Flagstones of Trokair, Crop Rotation? Sounds like a nice excuse to get some Planar Births. I mean, I nice idea for a deck.

trey young's version of deck parfait "TURBO GENESIS" used this to its fullest effect..with the help of Armageddons, tormod's crypt and 4 copies of this..then he'll quickly overrun the opponent with pegasus tokens generated by the powerful sacred mesa enchantment..

Amazing and appropriate art. Gives Life from the Loam a run for it's money (well, not really, but it's one of the easier things to compare it to).

Play a game of EDH, and see the massive amounts of Basic Lands being played.

Oh no? They aren't? WHAT A SHAME!

This card seems so breakable. Landfall comes to mind. Especially Admonition Angel, Ob Nixilis, and Rampaging Baloths.

Very very good. I utilize it with Greater Good and Constant Mists to help fog my way to victory if my beast deck starts losing. Keep sacing lands and creatures until I can stabilize again; get all my lands back and keep on moving! Many decks can't deal with your ability to bounce back over and over from something like that. If they can, they're probably going to have issues handling the repeatable Pulse of the Tangle, Rampaging Baloths, and similar.
