I think this card is truely awesome for 2 reasons.

1) The swamp that you sacrafice when the Lake comes into play does NOT have to be untapped, unlike many other lands that make you sacrafice lands when they come into play, such as Lotus Vale.

2) The swamp that you sacrafice to add 4 black mana to your mana pool does NOT have to be untapped. So not only do you get 4 mana for sacraficing it, but you can tap it for one before you sacrafice it, giving you 5 mana to play with.

This is one of the best Black non-basic lands. However many times it is to slow to help out an aggressive black deck. Having to dump a swamp when it comes into play and each time you use it can hurt as much as it helps. On the other hand in Extended were you do not have Dark Ritual it is as good as it gets. All in all it is one of the better lands from one of the better sets, a vary soild 4 star card.

Sweet card. Very good for getting those pumpable weenies(i.e. Nantuko Shade)big in no time at all. Excellent. Nice picture, too.

my friend played with this in a black suicide 1.5("legacy") deck four or five years ago and won a tournament. this land was part of that deck. i believe my friend played either two or three copies. anyway, while i've always thought about playing with it, it's uses seem to be highly specialized and niched than it may appear at first glance. also, very vulnerable to any kind of land destruction because of its ability AND the "come into play and sack a land" requirement. not exactly speedy either if the situation isn't right. all that being said, its quite nice to have a mana pumper that stays in play. in conclusion, a highly vulnerable card that consistently and efficiently produces only under controlled "greenhouse" conditions. ..................

this card is the best black land there is!!!!!!!! you dont have to sacrifice untapped land to play it and get mana with it which makes it very flexible. and it has a nice picture for mid game mana this is a must for a mono black deck. for early mana use dark ritual with bog witch

This card has won me many games in my speed black deck. This is perfect for drain life or to get one of black's many large, nasty creatures out. One of the best lands ever. Heck, one of the best mana producers ever.

Too slow to recieve 5 stars, but a great mid-game to end-game card, and useful for finishers like Drain Life or Howl from Beyond in a mono-black deck. Beautiful illustration as well - classic black mana production. Not quite up to the speed of a Lotus or Mox on turn one, but darn close. 4.5 stars.
