Traveler's Amulet trades itself for any basic land type — one mana to cast, one mana to crack, and you get a land into hand at the cost of a card. It's strictly a budget fixer or a sacrifice-fodder piece; outside of decks that reward artifacts entering or leaving the battlefield, Mm'menon, the Right Hand being the clearest example, there are almost always better ways to fix your mana.

Mm'menon, the Right Hand
Mm'menon, the Right Hand cares about artifacts entering and being sacrificed, which turns Traveler's Amulet from a weak mana fixer into a two-step trigger engine — cast it to trigger an entry effect, crack it to trigger a sacrifice effect, and walk away with a basic in hand as a bonus.

In Commander, Traveler's Amulet is a last-resort mana fixer — it shows up in decks that specifically want cheap artifacts to sacrifice or recur, not as a genuine ramp piece. In Pauper, where the card pool is shallow and every common counts, it sees occasional play in landfall shells or artifact-matters brews that need a zero-downside way to find a specific basic land type. In Legacy, Modern, and Pioneer, Traveler's Amulet is essentially invisible — the competition is too stiff and the card disadvantage too real. Vintage is the same story: there are simply better options at every point on the curve.
