Awesome for EDH, This will go up in value for sure once commander gains more popularity

It's not bad, but think about it... This card cannot produce mana on its own, meaning it will take you another land and another turn to be able to produce all 5 colors. By using City of Brass instead, you essentially get a 1 turn advantage over this. As far as having to pay 1 life to the City, that is barely a drawback at all. One turn can, and often does, make the difference between winning and losing, but 1 life will rarely make that difference.

You guys aren't thinking right. Use this with forbidden orchard or gemstone cavern. Then it taps for any color you want. :)!

The two reviews that are less than 5 stars are, I will just say misguided as I do not wish to offend anyone.

Very useful for 3 to 5 color. I play in 5 color with all double and what i like it get my second black,white,red,blue or green mana. It an easaly 5 stars for that card.

grant this can have a down side but you could also play it with rainbow vail and just not use the vail.

Fantastic land. Thats all there is to it.

I like this card with thran quarry and city of brass.. means 12 all color lands basically when a 60 card deck is only going to have about 20 lands total. 4 of those 3 cards allows basically any deck to use any color. Thats worth 5 stars.

Excellent card. But I just don't see it as rare-worthy. :/

This card works great in type 1 with dual lands, I like to run 2 or 3 of these in 3-5 color decks.

Excellent when paired with the Vivid lands from Lorwyn. Mana of any color, anyone?

Reflecting pool allows you to play cards with multiple color specific mana costs (i.e. Counterspell, Force of Nature) in mana-light or mana-balanced decks. It can be very useful...

This land is good in combination with land such as City of Brass and the mana conversion lands, since it gets their mana types withouth the drawbacks.

useful in multicolor decks, but you have to have one of the lands already which makes it less useful
