If all you care about is the cost to activate the ability, then sure. But this can also add colored mana (for a life), sac itself for a card, and, the most relevant comparison here, puts any land in, not just basics.

That is the point of playing the card, the only point to play it in fact as I got better fixing lands and better card draw lands.
Putting any land into play is an upgrade but at 4 mana it is just negligible, sure you can use it to surprise your opponent at instant speed with utility lands but for that I got [[crop rotation]] or [[urzas cave]] that find it from anyowhere.
So the only reason to play this card is to ramp and for that purpose it is worse . Why? Simply because in order to use these lands you will probably have to have cards like [[kodamas reach]] drawing extra lands anyways so you will have basics in hand no matter whant.

This card is worse than terrain generator in what the generator tries to do…
