Looking for opinions on this, would it play better this way:

Whenever Wurm of the Wastes attacks,
any opponent may sacrifice a land.  If they
do, untap Wurm of the Wastes and remove it
from combat.

Is that more or less powerful?

Maybe something like this:

Sacrifice a land: Untap Wurm of the Wastes
and remove it from combat.  Use this abilit
only during combat.  Any player may
use this ability.

Better/worse?

GM, even in the fantasy world where your idea works as intended, it it's still an unnecessarily complicated way to do it.

Spoiler: Show

what I would do:

GM's Thing 1
Sorcery
Destroy target land. At the beginning of its controller's next precombat main phase, that player adds to his or her mana pool.

what you might have done:

GM's Thing 2
Enchantment - Aura
Enchant Basic Land
Enchanted land has ": Add to your mana pool" and loses all other abilities.

even this would be less complicated:

GM's Thing 3
Enchantment
When ~ enters the battlefield, exile target basic land, then that land's controller gains control of ~, then tap ~.
When ~ leaves the battlefield, return the exiled land to the battlefield.
: Add to your mana pool.

I correct myself, I finished off the render today, removing champion. The simplest way is, "Proxyterrain enters the battlefield tapped under the control of an opponent of your choice, then exile target land that player controls."

As I said, the comprehensive ruling you've provided is contradictary to the context of the wording composure used. 

This sentence needs to be the flavor text on an un-card.
