You can't tap the land for mana. its just a shrouded expanse the enchantment will die when you use its ability.

Yup, what Twogun said. Terramorphic Expanse doesn't have a Mana Ability, so the extra mana part of Trace doesn't do anything.

It would still have Shroud though.

If the expanse somehow gained a mana ability, e.g. via Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth turning it into a Swamp, then Trace will kick in and give an extra mana. (note this is because being a Swamp grants it the ability 'Tap: add B to your mana pool')

The enchantment would fall off as you sac it and do nothing.

Try Wind Zendikon. It'll work better.

I'm finding more and more lately that many players can't differentiate between land and mana. I frequently hear people saying Dark Ritual gives them 3 Swamps and that Rampant Growth gives them a mana of any color. I think maybe it's time wizards brought back the old-style lands which actually had the tap ability on them.

I agree, at least for the core set lands - though maybe make it reminder text (as the ability is granted because it has a basic land type).

Oh yeah, I've heard people say that Rite of Flame adds 2 Mountains, then start searching their libraries.

That would make things fun.

1. Forest. Llanowar Elf.
2. Forest. Search with Llanowar. Play Joraga Treespeaker.
3. It all goes downhill from here.

Or even worse, Black Lotus... that pretty much sums this up...
