wow. :) there are already a bunch of uncommon lands able to produce any color of mana without sacrificing it. but this is the first one not requiring additional mana or time, therefore i would have expected to see this effect on a rare one. dependant on deck it might be even better than Thran Quarry. btw, i wonder when wizards decides to release the first mythic rare land. >;)

probably a mythic land when we get a land based set.

I, too, am surprised Ancient Ziggurat was made uncommon and not rare. The Conflux set, with its multiple WUBRG creatures, certainly benefits from a land like this one. I would say that Ancient Ziggurat is better than Thran Quarry, since it can be played on turn one and you don't fear losing it to creature destruction. Just about any 3 (or more) color deck should be running a playset of the Ziggurat, unless creatures aren't part of your game plan.

Wow. Just wow. Great for any aggro-multi decks.

Good card with nice effect for creature heavy builds, five color decks will fall in love with this one. consider this card with just about any build and if you have a three plus color (like the block it came it), then it should be a good addition to your deck.
I will be sad though when I will be one mana shy of playing my game winning non-creature spell...

Wizards probably isn't too eager to make a mythic land. Land's aren't really all that flashy; new players usually underestimate their power anyway, and they usually don't have powerful abilities other than 'tap to add mana'. They'll probably reserve Mythic Rare mostly for powerful legends and expensive creatures.

I run 3 of this in the maindeck of my red/green haste. Since like 4/5ths of the deck's spells are creatures, this is a great land to use. A lot of people find it odd to play this in a 2-color, but I've yet to be let down by this guy when I need him.

This land is just brilliant for any multicolor decks. I wouldn't doubt for a second adding four of them if the current build of my deck was more creature central. Also don't forget that Alara Reborn is PURE multicolor, which will just add even more value to this brilliant card. The art itself is excellent too. Giving this anything but a 5/5 would be madness (inb4 SPARTA!!!!!!!).

Very cool card, can use it to play your green creatures early that can produce other colors of mana.

I dont know why you guys complain about it being uncommon. Would you rather want it to be rare, so it would cost like 5 times more?
What would be the point in printing 'mythic rare' lands, if they are good enough to deserve the 'mythic status' then all the good players would need a playset of them and they will reach insanely high costs, why would you like to have broken cards for rich kids if you already have plenty of balanced options?

Slivers was the first thing I thought of when I saw this, its an amazing mana-fixer.

this is one of the most amazing cards ever. I only have one and run it in a sliver deck and it is basically my win condition.

I love how beautifully this works out in my 5-colored 1-drop deck. Even if I'm in need of casting an Ancestral Vision, I can simply cast a Wild Cantor for it.

I hate this land so much. I once ran it in my Mono-Blue Extended Mill Deck to help pay for the Storm Crows and such without having to rely on Moxes. They proved to be inconsistent. 1.5/5.

It's uncommon, because it many situations, this turns into {T} : add {0} to your mana pool, if you're holding onto removal or combat tricks. It's good, but it isn't THAT good.
