1-of in Enchantress for use with Utopia Sprawl/Wild Growth and Serra's Sanctum? Thoughts?

wow, they attempted to change the card's abilit... check out what it says the card does next to the picture... It doesn't say "tap" on the card (for example how strip mine says tap, and that is from the same set)

RE: "It doesn't say "tap" on the card" No, but it's a "Mono Artifact" which does indeed require tapping it to use it's ability. In the old days, Artifacts were Mono (tap to use) , Poly (doesn't tap, but has an activation), or Continuous (always on effect). In the Revised set, they changed the terminology and added the 'tap symbol'.

This could make a good combo with Maraxus of Keld if you have some non-land mana producers.
this card kicks butt in any multicolored deck, not to mention it combos extremely well with other cards like library of alexandria, lake of the dead, stasis, etc... it's not good enough to merit restriction, but it's still pretty mean.

And by changing the terminology they opened a can of worms.
The artifacts don't work if they are tapped worked only on poly and continous artifacts. So Mana Vault never stopped you getting hurt if it was tapped until they changed the mono, poly and continous distinction.
Because of this blunder WoTC changed the rule so that artifacts work while tapped and errated a bunch of old cards like Howling Mine to get the effect they used to have.

Combo fuel of the highest order.

A clear example of how a simple concept can lead to broken silliness after many more cards have been printed.

Separate lands? Aww, but I wanted to double-untap one of my lands...
That's not actually a lot of utility. Aside from that, all you could do with it is little tricks like small amounts of color-fixing (like turning a Mountain and a Swamp into two Swamps for the turn) or getting multiple uses out of a nonbasic with a non-mana activation (like Bazaar of Baghdad), of which there were about 10.
In that context, is this a great card? In the right deck, I guess. In most decks, it was just okay.
