Why is this card good?
Pit of Offerings is a fixing land that doubles as targeted graveyard hate — a rare combination of utility on an otherwise mediocre body.
The catch is real: it enters tapped and its color-fixing depends entirely on what you exile. If you nab a multicolor card or a few off-color cards on the way in, you've got flexible fixing for the rest of the game. If everyone's graveyards are empty (turn one drop, or post-board-wipe), it's just a tapped Wastes.
Who wants it: decks that already lean on graveyard interaction and want incidental fixing — particularly multicolor manabases facing aristocrats, reanimator, or self-mill opponents. The exile-three is permanent and instant-speed-relevant on a recur-able permanent, which is nice against Muldrotha or Meren-style recursion.
Skip it in fast decks that can't afford a tapland turn one, mono-color decks (you don't need the fixing), and pods with little graveyard activity — there you're paying tempo for fixing you can't guarantee. Niche, but clean for the right table.
