Plausible mana fixer?

Well, it's a strictly better-than forest; with two different 'tap for green mana' abilities; which I've been dinged for before. Assuming there's a cycle of these, it would enable a chain-reaction landfall; which is probably a bad thing. Either ETB tapped, or not be a forest, or both?

The thing it puts onto the battlefield is tapped, if that helps...

first ability is a reminder

Even with the Mountain being ETB tapped, it's still better-than-Forest. But if this ETB tapped, then it's much worse than Gruul Guildgate. Tricky.

You could have this tap to add {1} to your mana pool, then sacrifice for either tapped Forest or tappped Mountain. Now that I think of it... why haven't they done that yet? Is it me?

jmg's suggestion is pretty similar to Jund Panorama. But yes, there's room for a cycle similar to the Panoramas that only get 2 types not 3, but only cost {t}+Sac to pop (not {1}+{t}+Sac). It'd still be an interesting comparison to Evolving Wilds because that can't tap for mana the turn you cast it.
