Way too mana intensive to work as a standalone plan. Manlands were designed to get around control heavy decks as they are uncounterable. They are also used by control decks as a secondary win con, typically vs other control decks. You use them in your decks build colors and then they make great back up. But by themselves...not gonna stand a chance. Just costs too much mana and you have no way of really interacting with your opponent.

@skein: but its difficult to see what that decks has that wouldnt work better with a few infect creatures... one way to go is: 4 x Explore  1 x Azusa, Lost but Seeking  2 x Ward of Bones  2 x Primeval Titan  2 x Harmonize  4 x Sylvan Scrying  4 x Expedition Map  4 x All Is Dust  4 x Oblivion Stone  4 x Mutavault  4 x Dread Statuary  4 x Treetop Village  5 x Forest  3 x Urza's Mine  4 x Urza's Tower  3 x Urza's Power Plant  4 x Mosswort Bridge  1 x Life from the Loam  1 x Relic of Progenitus  sideboard 4 x Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle  4 x Prismatic Omen  4 x Tree of Redemption  3 x Relic of Progenitus this is modern, legacy has some cheaper options for clearing the board of anything but lands, which makes urzatron unnecessary.

One thing you can do when you have something that defends against something your opponent may or may not have, is to put that thing in your own deck. Opponent might not be playing control? Ok add board wipes or other control that harms your opponent but not your man lands. Also combines well with indestructible creatures. Cards with the epic ability, whose only drawback is that they keep you from casting spells, are nice. Thran turbine  is nice for paying mandland mana costs. I couldn't find anything but if you can find something that keeps everyone from castings spells that would be nice. Etc. As with any deck build around the uniqueness.

The big thing is that manlands can be made indestructible easily. Also a 1/1 flying infect for 1 mana gets annoying quickly. Particularly if you make it unblockable and or with trample. If you are running accelleration white anyway with indestructible land you can also run both armageddon  and wrath of god  in your sideboard or main. Lands are also much easier to recover from the gy then anything else.
