Great mana producer, but not outright broken.

great for multicolored decks. No drawbacks!

Simply really useful in my Naya deck. A must!

Love it! Ziggurat is good, but this is awesome. Rainbow and Shards Block Decks are assuredly better with 4 of these.

It's a little sad that you can't pay for activated abilities, but however I love it! Needs a deck builded a little around it, but it does a great job fixing your mana base, whatever it is...

I was disappointed when I saw Ancient Ziggurat. It's a uncommon with a less restrictive condition: there are more creature spell than multicolored spell. But with Pillar of the Paruns you can build a more variable and versatile deck!

However, a great card! 4/5

Again, Fist Of Suns.

@Psychrates - Doesn't work with Fist of Suns. Paying an alternate cost doesn't change the characteristics of the spell. "Multicolored" is a characteristic; a monocolored or colorless spell that you payed the alt cost for is still monocolored or colorless.

Wizards, let's put this in the return to ravnica block plzzzz!

Invasion, Ravnica, Shadowmoor, and Alara are the blocks this cards help the most. It could either be the second strongest land in your Commander deck, or one of the weakest that still made the cut, depending on how exactly you build your color balance. Probably necessary for any 5 color Commander Deck. Not automatically so for 3-color decks, since you'll be using plenty of mono-colored spells too.

Land that taps for mana but doesn't have a color on it? Check. Into my (possibly made up) Kozilek EDH deck it goes.

Wait...

looks like the reminder of power as the tower lists from top to bottom is azorious to rakdos, dimir to izzet, gruul to boros, selesnya to orzhov, simic to golgari

Actually, from top to bottom, it goes Azorius, Rakdos, Gruul, Selesnya, Golgari on the left and Simic, Izzet, Boros, Orzhov, Dimir on the right.

Interestingly, there is a version of the card art without the Dimir symbol. Makes sense as, until the Return to Ravnica block, the House Dimir didn't "officially" exist as far as the Ravnican public and guildless knew.

Here's my continuing saga of multilands in Magic, which I started in Castle Sengir and continued in Darigaaz's Caldera.

So, after this second colorfest the multilands (including lands that not necessarily produce multiple colors of mana but help otherways to diversify mana production) to follow were:

Coldsnap: Allied color comes in tapped snowlands (Arctic Flats etc.)
Time Spiral: Gemstone Caverns, Gemstone Mine, Terramorphic Expanse, Vesuva and allied color storagelands (Calciform Pools etc.)
Planar Chaos: Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth.
Future Sight: Graven Cairns, Grove of the Burnwillows, Horizon Canopy, Nimbus Maze, River of Tears and Tolaria West.
Tenth edition: Terramorphic Expanse, Ice Age and Apocalypse painlands (Adarkar Wastes and Battlefield Forge etc.)
Lorwyn: Shimmering Grotto, allied color show creature or comes in tapped lands (Ancient Amphitheater etc.) and Vivid lands (Vivid Crag etc.)
Morningtide: Murmuring Bosk and Primal Beyond.
Shadowmoor: Reflecting Pool and allied color filterlands (Fire-Lit Thicket etc.)
Eventide: Springjack Pasture and enemy color filterlands (Cascade Bluffs etc.)
Shards of Alara: Tricolor fetchlands (Bant Panorama etc.) and tricolor comes in tapped lands (Arcane Sanctum etc.)
Conflux: Ancient Ziggurat, Exotic Orchard, Rupture Spire and Unstable Frontier.
Alara Reborn: No lands.

Ok, that's the third colorfest block ending with a set that had only multicolor cards (two monocolor tokens don't count) and no lands. Wizards clearly expected that the multilands from Shards & Conflux were enough for Alara block.

I continue this series in Unstable Frontier.
