The cost should probably be "Sacrifice a land".

Interesting. Reminiscent of Squandered Resources, which was famously broken, but the {t} symbol may save it. Clearly has potential for explosive starts - two of them let you drop a turn 2 Primordial Titan or Wurmcoil Engine. But in most cases you'll be setting yourself back in resources to do so, so... I'm not sure whether it might be safer to have a mana cost of {2} or {3}.

Anyway, an interesting design.

The original cost was "{1}{t}, sacrifice a land" do you think that would be more balanced?

That'd make it rather less splashy, as the artifact is then only giving you 1 mana plus a wash, rather than 2 mana. It'd be more balanced, but also less exciting.

(formatting help)
Enter mana symbols like this: {2}{U}{U/R}{PR}, {T} becomes {2}{u}{u/r}{pr}, {t}
