Strictly better than a basic mountain, yet rated lower. It's not a game-winner(usually) but what's wrong with it? Why would this have less than 3 stars?

if you don't specifically need mountains, this is an auto include in any red deck, in my opinion. Even if you don't have a single legend in the deck. Alright, maybe not if you don't have any legendary creatures, but still...

Plus awesome art

@rubber: it's not strictly better than a basic mountain; it's close, but it's legendary.

Also, you shouldn't take seriously anyone who's giving ratings to basic lands. You ever look at a basic land's comments section? Every comment is either about the artwork or a sarcastic joke. I guarantee the scores have just as little to do with the utility of the card.

It's not strictly better than a mountain... Legendary Land vs Basic Land means a lot

Most inventive way to use this - have a first striker/double striker involved in combat, let them deal first strike damage, then use this on an opposing legendary (which doesn't have first/double strike).

Causes much confusion, then sadness.

It's like an evolved version of a mountain!

(I'll be impressed if anyone gets this joke.)
