Any particular reason this has a delayed trigger on the second ability?

It has the same reason as "it can't be regenerated". Because obviously lands can regenerate, almost as much as they are considered dead when they are destroyed. (they aren't)

When I first commented on this, the other cards in the set were not joke cards, or at least seemed to be less so. Was I just oblivious, or did you change them for some reason?
Lands can regenerate, obviously. Cards like Pillage are aware of this, and Reknit makes it possible.

I... was not aware of this at the time. Why do you find this a set full of joke cards? Was it that one merfolk lobster card I deleted a second ago?

My apologies. I was indeed mislead by the merfolk lobster, as well as by Prototype Empowerer and the edits you made to Shielded Citizen. They seemed like joke cards to me, and if they're truly serious attempts I'm sorry to have offended you.
In my original question I intended to ask why the last ability triggers at end of turn, rather than just allowing you to exile the cards immediately. Is there a reason for the wait?

Most likely just so that if the opponent wants a card from their graveyard they know to get it before your turn ends. Only reason for "swordfish" subtype is because it's a placeholder. I couldn't think of a way to give a creature a planeswalker subtype so that when something like another Goblin comes into play the legend rule doesn't come into effect. And since no creature/planeswalker has the subtype Swordfish...
