This is probably a (bad? it's bad right, or is there a cheat I'm missing?) rare instead of an uncommon. I will change later

Firstly, I don't think the first ability is templated correctly. Are you able to sac creatures anytime to untap? Or do you have to sacrifice a creature during your untap step?

Secondly, what's the flavour of this? Okay an excavator can destroy lands. Kinda makes sense. But what about this is ensnaring? That usually has something to do with tapping. And why does it need blood to become re-energised and untap itself?

Thirdly, why would you want this effect? I thought we all agreed that land destruction was bad? Why do we now want a (albeit, a slow and cumbersome) repeatable LD rock?
