Tangled Islet enters tapped, but it replaces itself with a card — that's the deal, and it's a clean one. In Tidus, Yuna's Guardian decks that want a critical mass of blue-green lands and card flow, the enter-tapped cost is worth paying without debate.

In Commander, Tangled Islet is a role-player in Simic and Temur piles that can afford the enter-tapped penalty in exchange for card parity — it's not a staple, but it earns its slot in decks that want more blue-green sources than the format's better dual lands can provide. In Pauper, it competes in a format where cantrip lands have real value at common, and it's a legitimate option for Simic tempo or combo shells that need the color fixing and can tolerate the tempo loss. Modern and Pioneer have access to cheaper, untapped alternatives, so Tangled Islet doesn't see play there outside of budget builds. Legacy and Vintage simply have better options at every price point.
