Why? Read the ability again. Unless you are fetching Tron or something.
Tap Forest/Plains for mana, then sacrifice it with Reliquary, the new land comes into play untapped (which you can then tap for 1 mana you couldn't have had without her). You mana ramp with it. I suggest you read the card again.
Once Lorwyn rotates out, this little Knight is going to perform far greater in Standard (no vivids, filter lands, reflecting pools...), as will the entire Shards of Alara block. However, in particular, this 2/2 for 3cc does wonders.
Mana ramp? Yup.
Mana fix?Hmhm. Grow bigger by doing both?Yessir.
Mutavault, Treetop Village, Terramorphic Expanse, Panoramas, Tri-Tap lands all love this fella.
What makes this card truly great is that it pleases both the Johnny and Spike crowds: Johnnys will love the mana-fixing; Spike will want to break it to create a new metagame.
This is the one card that I need a playset of ASAP. Everything else can wait a little bit.
