Is anyone else surprised this card is not used anywhere? It can fetch for ANY land, and with Ghost Quarters and Path to Exile it plays with land quite nicely. And getting a fetch and cracking it just thinned your deck by 2 more lands. Sure it doesn't do much late game, and there are times it's completely dead, but I still think there's something there and it's waiting for a home. Anyone try making a deck with it?
Considering Dark Depths is banned, it's not that great (but this isn't the place to talk about that). There is the lovely anti-synergy of fetching out Ghost Quarters. I really don't know where this fits in. Maybe for getting value out of Flagstones of Trokair?

I looked at it as a way to grab Nykthos in a white devotion deck, but even then that's stretching his playability. I'm just not sure what deck wants him.
It looks a *lot* better on paper than it feels in game. Ive had one that has been slotted into multiple different decks, and he always ends up being cut because I never get the payoff out of him as easily as I expect

Playing it just to get more lands without any synergies is a bad idea.
