Which is a shame, because in some matches these can make a huge difference in the outcome of the game.
Vintage is a format *forced* to run single copies of the broken cards, but there are some unrestricted cards that still see inclusion as a one-of because of the aforementioned potential for winning games you wouldn't otherwise.
I think Legacy ought to consider incorporating this approach more often, e.g. Control decks running 1x Daze for the unexpected blow out; any deck running Green with 1x Sylvan Library for the potential advantage it grants; Black decks running a 1x Toxic Deluge as a Wrath effect; and indeed, perhaps a URx deck running a single Cavern of Souls to help bash through a Counterbalance or Chalice lock.
Most competitive decks play Blue, so Brainstorm + Fetchlands are the key to both searching for and shuffling back these sort of cards.
All in all, I think it's a consideration worth testing. Try to tally up the number of times that it a) wins you the game because of its bonus, b) loses you the game because it wasn't just some other land or spell, and c) times when it really doesn't matter either way.
If 'C' outweighs 'B', then I think it's worth running even if option 'A' doesn't really present itself too frequently.
