This will let you sacrifice a land in your upkeep, you draw a card with your reverse landfall but death trigger, and then you play another land like Mina and Denn before
The seven-mana ability is also quite powerful, meaning mana ramp decks can make use of this rather well
The ability for your counter to scale with the game and do much more broken things is much better than the occasional card
It can attack on turn-1, a huge plus for it
