So you play this, then maybe a turn or two later play sylvan awakening, would it become an 11 elemental until your next turn and then go back to be a 9/9 legendary?

As far as I know it never stops being Legendary. Sylvan Awakening never made naturally Legendary lands nonlegendary, and as far as I know, it doesn't makes the Awakened land nonlegendary either.
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.

Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
I have no idea why this would need haste. If i got 6 mana, i'll simply awaken a land that was previously played.
I'd guess Arena. On Arena, while players CAN pick and choose which lands do and don't get tapped to pay a cost, they don't want to have to code the not-full-control logic "Always use this turn's land to pay the mana" nor do they want to have to deal with complaints from not-full-control players claiming the interface hosed them by default-paying costs with the wrong lands. Easier to just make it idiot-interface-proof.
Also, don't forget Arena's obnoxious tendency to make lands swap positions around as you tap them for mana.

Many thanks to DNC at Heroes of the Plane Studios
It's also an instant 5cmc for a 9/9 creature, which is a huge advantage over previous Awaken spells. Damn what else do you kids want? So spoiled.

The
Necromancer (or Noob)
Cat.
Don't ask, I don't know why ether...
This is the only acceptable use for this card.
(Animates the FREAKING WORLD TREE INTO A 9/9. Cue epic music)
Chandra: DUDE!
Nissa: Now, Go get Bolas!
(Vitu-Ghazi turns and punches Bolas' statue knocking it over. Epic music scratches to a halt)
Nissa: That.. um... wasn't what I meant....
Chandra: Well, it wasn't wrong....
Completely off flavor? Yes
Completely satisfying? Y E S

This is going straight into my Ghave deck in the hope of exactly that happening, preferably to the aforementioned Vitu-Ghazi, the City-Tree too
