Evaluating lands is hard, but I love the flavor you put into these! These names are evocative and neatly fit the mechanics.

Whenever a creature dies, add to your mana pool and gain 1 life.

Edit: Oh dammit, I didn't see the similar land in the text wall above, I only looked at page 1. Well kudos to you for making it first. I guess they're kinda differentish.
Welp, might as well make 4 more.

UUU seems like too much colored mana. Mebbe it should be 2U. But unsummon effects seem like they happen the least often, out of these 5 effects, in a game, whereas P/T boosts and player damage are super frequent. But in a cube that doesn't have a +1/+1 counters subtheme, the green land should maybe generate GG due to the lower frequency of the effect.

Lands that activate more than once are kind of dangerous, given how hard they are to interact with... The below represent pretty simple infinite combos, and obviously these exact cards are probably not in your cube, but I am sure some of these lands have other wholly unintended interactions.

Bone-porridge Expanse
Land
Whenever a creature dies, add to your mana pool and gain 1 life.

Gravecrawler + Zombie + Sac. Outlet

Streets of Rage
Land
Whenever a player is damaged, add to your mana pool.

Pyrohemia

Island of Lost Hope
Land
Whenever a card on the battlefield is returned to a player's hand or library, add to your mana pool.

Actually not sure how to properly break this one, despite offering the most mana. Darting Merfolk gives infinite ETBs?
It makes Bounce-lands pretty interesting.

Meadow of Yummy Dewdrops
Land
Whenever a player gains life, add to your mana pool.

Not sure again, Phelddagrif gives arbitrary amounts of mana, but also gives the opponent life.

Grove of Primal Power
Land
Whenever an effect increases a creature's power or toughness, add to your mana pool.

Killer Bees


Maybe these effects would work better on enchantments or creatures? Then they would have meaningful interactions, and given the unpredictable nature of their activations, they are basically spells already.

Thankfully, I don't play constructed so I don't have to deal with that kind of bullshit, but fair points! If I experiment with any of those lands as utility picks, I will make sure not to include cards in the cube that bust the lands.

They could also be made enchantments so that they are more targetable. But still lands so that they can cost 0, kinda like that green creature/land, and act as an alternative, tap-free way to get mana.

Edit: Grove of Primal Power is a little silly with Outlast creatures, it might need a different trigger.

Or hell, the "cycle" should be abandoned for only the 2 or 3 best ones.

Typically tap free ways to get mana are either broken or horrible. Being lands, I'd think they're leaning towards broken.
What's the intended enviornment look like? All of these look like combo pieces and nothing else, but if that's intentional...
