i mean, its not anywhere near as good as it needs to be to be playable on constructed and has a trigger that wont ever do anything in limited… so, what gives?

I think you are underestimating how often the ability will trigger in constructed. Even a 2 color standard deck right now rarely has more than half their lands basic. Soldiers running Mishra's Foundry have no more than 8. Esper or Grixis might not have any. In pioneer, even 2 color deck have only 2 or 3 basics.
When it comes to commander it’s a coin flip if it will do a bunch of damage or not because the 3-5 color decks will definitely be punished by this but the basic's will swarm like locust in 1-2 color decks so it’s a tough call if worth putting in decks
but It’s a definitely don't sleep on it for outside limited formats

Eh good'old 3/3 menace for 3 is still somewhat useful in limited
