Placeholder card.
This might make a splash in Modern / Legacy combo decks. It's quite a strong Seething Song, and who cares about your life total if you're winning this turn? Needing might be the saving grace to stop it breaking things too much.
I'm still concerned by this "once only". Can I only proclaim once? Or only one thing at a time? Or each thing only once?
@Alex:
The older formats are one concern why I think this is a placeholder card. The double is definitely there for that.
The proclaim feels pretty tacked on here IMO.
It also clashes with Secret Fire colorpie wise - since I would prefer fixing rituals be a thing while would fix mana by searching for different types of lands and with mana dorks.
@Vitenka:
IMO the remainder is pretty clear on this. "Proclaim a (singular) card... once only."
For those other meanings I would use wordings such as:
> "Proclaim only one card each turn (... each game?)."
> "You can have only one card proclaimed in your hand."
The point is that they would differ a lot. I don't know how I could word it to be any clearer. Maybe "Proclaim this card only as ..." ?
Totally revamped the card. Is now a High Tide variant.

"This produces" -> "produce"
This seems a little stronger in High Tide, especially in limited. You basically have 2×(Lands-1) mana no matter what, and a couple of extra life points seems like a small price to pay to get your 7 drop out on Turn 4 with no other ramp assistance.
Given the fact that it affects all lands and not just Islands, the effect seems much better than High Tide, even with the life loss. I'd say at least make it cost 2, maybe 3. There's no Force of Will or Path to Exile in this format, so the mana cheating should be checked accordingly.
RG05 -> RG08
replaced the "unused mana" reminder text with "in addition" reminder

Hmm, it's lost proclaim completely now. Does feel more like a red way (or even a black way) of making mana than a green way, though.
