I would make the sacrifice ability also a tap ability. Having a land with almost no drawback that could possibly let your entire team alpha strike is a bit sick.

Good flavor... rather weak effect for constructed but it could be very good in limited...

Tap for colorless is hardly "no drawback". Legendary doesn't help.
It's a shame that this land doesn't have some sort of type of its own. It could synergize with its legendary drawback.

So I can sacrifice a Maze of Ith and get Maze of Ith-walk, yes? I would think so. It's interesting, but not over-powered. The colorless is a good drawback since you have to sac lands to power it, putting you on some bad attrition unless you use it carefully. Looks good.

Hmmm...I dunno, its uses seem limited, seeing that the ideal time to use this would be when you're going aggro vs. aggro, such as WW vs. WW. Even then, the opponent must play the same kind of lands you're controlling. Seems a bit underpowered.

Granting landwalk definately needs to tap it. Like someone else said, landwalking to alpha strike is too powerful. If the tap is added, then this goes feels ... off. Producing colourless mana seems like too large a drawback for the ability, since it doesn't seem like you would be using it very much. Maybe you could add another ability like... "Sacrifice ~, target creature you control is unblockable until end of turn."

Actually, no. Comp rules:
502.6b Landwalk and snow-covered landwalk are evasion abilities. A creature with landwalk is unblockable as long as the defending player controls at least one land with the specified subtype or supertype.
Maze of Ith does not have any subtype or supertype. However, you could certainly Urza's-Power-Plant walk with this card, or legendary land walk.
I think this card is great. It's cool, and certainly not too powerful. It would probably work best in 5-color. Thumbs up!

Yes. Check your local Gatherer (gatherer.wizards.com) for more info.
Incidentally, I DO think that this land would be cooler with either a subtype or a supertype, so it could sac itself for the effect.
