its better than a swamp - you can get it out first turn to speed up your mana production

Anyone who says this is just a swamp should be burried alive in a swamp.

this is so much better than a swamp, and is so much better than a first turn black knight, it could give you a first turn win in many decks in type 1, that's why it's so expensive

This card is perfect.
It sits happily on the table wherever I put it. If I flip it up into the air, sometimes it lands "face up" an sometimes it lands "face down." It has words and pictures, both of which enhance the card's appearance and value, and I can use it as a coaster for my martini IF I SO CHOOSE.

I guess a turn 1 kill is better...
And guys.. don't even say this is anything LIKE a swamp.. you're just lowering yourselves, any serious magic player understands the power of this card and the other moxes...

A swamp you say? My dear friend its more than that, it a mox! Meaning faster mana production! Lastly, meaning you dont know anything about magic. Period.

On the surface it looks like a swamp, but let me ask you: how many swamp can you play and how many mox jet can you play a turn??

So, great. An extra mana the initial turn. $650. w00t.
Why not just say "I'm spending my parents' money!!111!"?

Swamp? No, all swamps do is add a B to your mana pool AND you can only play one per turn. That's mediocre. This is an artifact, meaning you could play multiple artifacts per turn (maybe other moxen?), it's also a spell. Wait, that adds to the storm count for popular Type I decks (Tendrils). This card is phenomenal, and is probably tied for being the best of the five (with Sapphire being a hard contender).

will someone PLEASE explain WHY this is any better than a swamp

Alpha Swamp--$1.49
Alpha Mox Jet--$586.49
Sol Ring, Lotus Petal, Mox Jet, Mox Ruby, Mox Emerald, Channel, and Fireball on the 1st draw--priceless :-)
Seriously, if your deck was a race car, the moxi are the nitrous. A swamp and a Mox Jet on turn one may not seem like much, but a turn 1 10/10 Minion of the Wastes or pair of Phyrexian Negators (courtesy of two Dark Rituals) will have your opponent writhing in pain and probably dead by round 3.

Wow. A card with no mana cost that can be tapped for one black mana... Um, HELLO?! This is exactly the same thing as a Swamp.

The speed of all decks are governed by two things, card advantage and mana advantage . Think about if I go first I lay down a swamp and a mox than you go you lay down a swamp than I go I lay down a swamp. I now have three black to your one; I now have a mana advantage of two. Or If you go first you lay down a swamp than I go I lay down a swamp and a mox you have just lost you first turn mana advantage and now I have a card advantage. Because I went 2nd so I got to draw giving me 8 eight cards to your 7. But come 2nd turn you will not have the mana advantage because I will have two black and you will have two black so you lost the advantage of going first, mana wise. A mox jet on the first three turns can put you one step ahead of your opponent . (Not to mention what happens when combining it with other fast mana like sol ring, dark ritual and the other moxes.) Swamps do not do this because swamps only allow you to match mana producing speed with your opponent not speed past them. Imagine if you could lay down two swamps for one turn within the first 3 turns and your opponent could not. You would have and obvious unfair advantage. That is what a mox is a obvious unfair advantage. A draw of a mox in your first hand could be the deciding factor of a win. You also lose no space in your deck or draw just replace a swamp with the jet. It's a free advantage.

I remember when I first started playing magic, I too thought that the Mox's were stupid. What they are just mana. Then I learned what having extra mana on turn one means. People with all five mox's thats five mana turn one. Just think besides the awesome combos that it could make just look at it this way. A huge creature first turn. I cant thing of a simpler way to explain why they rock. And if you think they suck you will lean, with time or the hard way of being killed with the combos the suckers can make.

For those who are confused, what makes the moxes better than basic lands is that they are artifacts and thus have no limit to how many you can play per turn. With the moxes it is theoretically possible for you to have seven mana on your first turn, as opposed to what you could only achieve with basic lands which is one. Using fast mana acceleration with cards such as Black Lotus and the Moxes in combination with other powerful cards, it is possible to win as early as turn one.
