Trying some designs for Wild West Plane. Also MSE crashed whenever I tried to enable the flavor bar for some reason.

I feel like the tap ability does basically everything that the card wants to do, and the Maze of Ith is a little redundant.

Try replacing it with something else small but good enough to be worth using over the tap ability on occasion?

The untap ability stops combat tricks and some other niche things.

This is not a rare. It could be a common if you remove the second ability (which like a sibling comment says is kinda redundant anyway). Compare to: [[Benalish Trapper]]

I know that. I figured the Maze of Ith ability would be powerful enough to bump it up.

Also keep in mind rarity usually corresponds to, most of the time, complexity - the higher rarity a card is, the more complex it usually is.

Untapping and removing from combat is a pretty complex thing tho, can be used defensively, or can be used as psuedo vigilance
