It essentially reads, "Tap 6 to get 5." It isn't all that great. Good mana-fixing and this land becomes utterly worthless. Sorry casual players, I've never found a good use for it in any deck.

You forgot the Bringers, Door to Nothingness, etc etc.

Horde of Notions is probably the card that would benefit the most from this.
@Digit- It's not the most powerful mana fixer out there for sure but the ability's on a land meaning it's uncounterable, repeatable, free to get onto the field and produces mana in the mean time. It could probably fit into a sunburst deck pretty well, where most of the cards are artifacts which don't require colored mana and having a consistent source of WUBRG is important.
These are only the obvious ones, all of the cards that benefit you when paying different kinds of mana in their cost are right with this card too :)

Remember, it costs to get one of each color. Your tapping this land which normally produces a colorless, plus 5 more mana, that's total. Your loosing one mana in the process!
Great card nonetheless.

I'm making a Child of Alara commander deck with zero nonland permanents. This is solid fixing for it :v

@Travelsonic: They are right. By requiring a to activate this card, you are essentially paying to get . At least TheWrathofShane sees the potential in this card, unlike Digit. There are many things that make a decent amount of colorless mana (sol ring, thran dynamo), and even things that make multiple of a single color (gilded lotus, black lotus... cuz we all have one of those, right? we wish....), so the be able to filter of of any other color combo into is great.
Plus one needs to consider when this card came out. The options for really good multi-colored lands was not nearly as broad as it is today. Obviously dual lands were available, but its not like during Odyssey they were flowing like wine. Point is it does its job of filtering 5 of any color combination into and sometimes that is exactly what you need. It filters, and it does a decent job at it. There are plenty of good reasons for that. Many already mentioned in this thread.

@bbone... That still makes no sense to n me at all. I mean, it's not like casting a a spell with additional casting costs - mandatory or optional - in which you can add the sum for a total casting cost... which at least to me feels similar to what is being done here... I guess the idea is just lost on me. >_<
