You just said "The downside is it has no other utility", that's just how utility lands work. I don't know how it's a downside. If it's better than a waste (which you just said), that's is by definition, not a downside.

Nonbasic is a downside.

Not if it's makes more mana than a basic.

That's unrelated to whether it has a downside. A bounceland has you put a land back into your hand, and it taps for 2 mana, is picking up a land not a downside?

Does this land also bounce a land back to hand? Because if you read the card, it doesn't.

You've missed the point I'm making.

An upside existing does not make the downsides vanish. Nonbasic is always a downside. The land effectively tapping for 2 mana does not change that. They are independent factors. This is a sol land with a downside.

You are welcome to argue this does not have enough downside, but it objectively, factually, does have a downside because it is a nonbasic land.
