I don't think we need the untap clause. It's too brutal on our colorless producing lands.
"Use only as a sorcery." would fix that issue. It also alignes with the blues productive side of land altering, rather than blacks land destruction theme.
Yeah, that's the Tideshaper Mystic approach. There's also the Grixis Illusionist approach, only letting this hit your own lands at all. Either way is fine, but I don't think Reef Shamans without either restriction are a good idea because they're too easy to use for mana denial.
I'd be fine with the untap clause if we went with the Grixis Illusionist-esque version. I was just thinking about the mana bases in standard and how itd effect them. I didn't think it would a good idea to inflict something similar on our own colorless lands.
Couldn't we also just make this ability cost mana?
