Three mana for a 1/1 flier and a basic land tutored straight to hand is, on raw rate, a terrible deal: nobody plays this for the body or the velocity. What it sells is reliability, the same thing every fetch-to-hand bauble before it sold. The land goes to your hand rather than the battlefield, so it neither ramps nor thins the deck meaningfully; it just guarantees you hit your colors, and pays the toll up front in tempo. The flying matters more than it looks, because it tucks a 1/1 evasive body into formats where a chump blocker, an artifact for sacrifice fodder, or a one-power attacker has incidental value past its enters-the-battlefield trigger. That is the whole design brief: a fixing spell stapled to a creature so it can be reanimated, blinked, sacrificed, or simply chump a flier later. The basic-only clause is what keeps it honest as fixing rather than dual-land assembly, and it locks the card into the slot it was built for, decks that prize consistency over speed and have other uses for an artifact creature once the land is found.
