This card by itself is powerful but okay. The fact that it abuses the legendary clause for its benefit, though, makes it too strong in my opinion.

(Also some might think THIS is the way to avoid people being scared of having legends stuck in their hand.)

Actually, I'm cool with the Legendary rule on this card. After all, it isn't much worse than planting a Birds of Paradise on round 1 and 2. Roughly the same effect, but they don't die to burn. But, then this guy doesn't tap for mana on round 2, either.

Oh, I just noticed this puts any land into play, not just basic. Well, that is quite a bit better. Especially since the two lands could be Cloudpost, Cloudpost or Urza's Mine, Urza's Power Plant with Urza's Tower hand. Yeah... I might suggest against that.

Compare with Sylvan Scrying. This is a little bit of a hoop to jump through, but it gets you the land onto the field for 1 less mana. I can see that putting the land into hand would feel lacklustre, so perhaps this might be better as a 2/2 for 1G.

It's more obviously compared with the tortoise shaman blokey. He costs 1 more, but has a vuilt in way to sac. And can only fetch basic. Limited to basic only this is perfectly fine. Without the limit? Eeesh, pushing it.
