Good Crop Rotation target I guess? Colorless should render it unusable with Smallpox... While it in most decks won`t do enough to warrant a precious colorless slot, you have to admit that the design is damn cool.

When I hit my 3000 post mark, I'm gone for good.
Stay reasonable, be mindful of your expectations and don't feed the trolls.
Given the reviews given by some so far, you'd almost forget that this block is pretty heavy on the discard which gives plenty of opportunities to turn this into mana ramp. You'd also almost think there is no way at all to easily get this into the graveyard by virtue of one of many options such as dredge, looters, wheels and god knows what else spread among many formats.
If it's strong or not that's up for debate, but calling this a trash rare?

My Commander decks:
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Oops! All Chandras.
Prime Speaker Zegana - Draw for Power.
Pir & Toothy - Counterpalooza.
Arcades, the Strategist - Another Brick in the Wall.
Zacama, Primal Calamity - Calamity of Double Mana.
Edgar Markov - Vampires Don't Die.
Child of Alara - Dreamcrusher.
Seems like there's enough stuff that was already good like Dust Bowl, Constant Mists, Sylvan Safekeeper, Zuran Orb, that it will be fun to try to break this. Or maybe Aggressive Mining...
That's...really? I saw the card name and was really hoping for something more akin to Nephalia Drownyard. This is just, it taps for 1 colorless mana, woohoo. Oh, and you can pay 3 to get it back into play (tapped) from the yard. Yeah, nothing to write home about.
Really??! A free ramp spell in non green colors is nothing??! Do you play Standard??
It´s a free card to loot with Jace and others similar effects...
Is this any good in standard with molten vortex? hmmmm

No, Standard is a bad format. I don't evaluate cards based on it.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

I like this a lot. Plenty of combos with it in Standard and elsewhere (My Titania EDH deck is thrilled). And aside from that, this seems like the sort of unique, seemingly innocuous card that gets broken three blocks down the line...

While it's nothing for you, it's pretty clear that most people, with me included, think otherwise. I'm pretty sure that this land is the only land that can actually resurrect itself, opening up various strategies that it can be involved in.
this card is subtle but it seems very good. dakmor salvage was good and I think this is better. ramping on your opponents turn with one of these in the graveyard seems pretty sweet.
this has been maybe the only set to date that I keep getting my socks knocked off my spoilers every single day. a good problem to have.
It's hard to imagine a deck not wanting a couple of these in the new standard.
It's a land you can discard/mill for delirium, and as soon as you have delirium without it, you can bring it back. With all the discard outlets, this seems great.
And I really want to find a way to combo with this in modern...

This land is a treasure chest value rare in this set and for many decks involving discarding or sacing

Reanimate sucks cause it needs cards like Entomb to work.
Also, this is a neat effect! With all the discard, it's really neat. Man this set is making me want to give Standard a swing again.

In other news, Dust Bowl is a big fan of this card.
