I already wondered when Wizards would decide to print that ability on a land card.

Besides, this is a counterpart to the Reflecting Pool.
Yet the latter is in most cases more useful, unless there will someday be a card that lets your opponent get something like a City of Brass.

This plus Sen Triplets = Hmmmm.... I think they we're created for a reason?

Maybe?

Or Coincidence?

Sen Triplets is an amazing card

Only good because of all the "color doesn't matter, my mana base is invincible" decks that hafve been flooding standard lately.

I like this card a lot, but dislike the inconsistency. Reflecting pool I can control, I can play lands with charge counters or lands that produce any color. There's no way to trick an exotic orchard into producing any color without benefitting your opponent, and you can potentially get stuck with a land that produces mana that you can't use. It's still awesome, but not quite as good as reflecting pool type awesome.

Oh and no this card and sen triplets were not meant to combo together.. I mean, if your opponent only has two types of land or whatever, they aren't going to need your sen triplets so you can force them to play it, they will just do it. Sen triplets is also kind of over rated as all anyone has to do to counter them by mid game is play their cards, without anything in hand there's nothing for them to do.

There are so many 2-drop artifacts that have the ability of a nonbasic land. This is unusual in that it's a nonbasic land with the ablity of a 2-drop artifact (Fellwar Stone)

Althought unpredictable, this card is amazing and it looks amazing and I feel like sneaking a playset into a deck, but can't make up my mind as to what that deck is ...

Combos quite nicely with the otherwise useless Rainbow Vale.

As so many great mulitplayer cards are, this is very budget-friendly. The reason is that it's terrible in duels.

Keeping up with the Joneses.

This is great in a five-color deck, since your opponent is sure to have at least something you can use (in which case it's no worse than drawing the corresponding basic land), and it'll probably give you access to two or three different colors without coming in tapped or doing damage to you or other drawbacks. I like it better than Reflecting Pool for this purpose, since that will never give you anything but what you already have access to anyway.

This is good in muliplayer in the sense that if you know which colors your opponents is going to play to can adjust accordingly. if you know that someone is going to play a color or even better a multicolor deck. You are the man but this kind of mana fixing can make you a target.

Blue stealer decks can benefit greatly from this, as you can yoink the enemies' creatures that contain activated abilities with non-blue activation costs.

In multiplayer EDH, this is a great budget option. Sure, it's not great in duels, but I can think of a number of cards that aren't great in duels. You can pick one of these up for $2 on the high side, and at the very least it taps for a colorless mana and comes into play untapped. It's worth a slot in EDH.
