I may be shooting myself in the foot by saying this, but... I actually like Rupture Spire more than this.
This is still an excellent and iconic card, and definitely worth using in any 4-5 color deck. (For 3, we have Alara, and for 2, we have Ravnica.)

I think you're forgetting that Ravnica lands are used for pretty much everything, especially 5-color decks.

I just randomed into City of Ass. Then I randomed here straight from there. Coincidence?

If your playing creatures, then just use Ancient Ziggurat. Otherwise, city of brass will definitely end up being better in the early game for instants/sorceries.

@Weretarrasque.
The reason why this is considered better is because it does not come into play tapped. For tourneys, tapped lands can loose games. 1 life rarely looses a game, especially since you are not tapping this unless you absolutely need to.
