This land is probably one of the best post Alpha/Beta/Revised edition lands ever made, with the exclusion of the Ravnica pay lands. Which, this land, if you need to use it multiple times, works best with the guild bounce lands of Ravnica as well. This is ideal in certain deck types that want to use any given color at any given time, such as evoke elementals, 5 color control, the stupid 3color blocks of planechase and whatever the newer one was. This is a fantastic answer that is both relatively cheap $$$ wise, and has no draw back other than you get to play another one and another one...

Generally outclassed by Vivid lands, which (admittedly) can only provide rainbow mana twice, but can still tap for their basic mana every turn. Admittedly, it doesn't come into play tapped, but I haven't seen this land played in many years, even in Commander.

Was a staple in Worldgorger Dragon decks back in the day.

This was my favorite Rainbow Land for many, many years.
Sure it goes away after three uses, but that buys you at *least* three turns to get your manabase otherwise fixed.
That's the true beauty of this card- as a mana fixer.
If you want a more longterm option, try any of the other lands mentioned here,
or my personal favorites, Glimmervoid and Thran Quarry.
Also, it's a real shame Brom didn't do more MtG art- he's my favorite fantasy artist.

You're all wrong. This card is great just because it reminds me of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs :)
whoo hoo hee hoo
whoo hoo hee hoo
HI HO!
HI HO! HI HO! HI HO!
(^must whistle this as you kill opponent if this land is in play. that's a rule now.)
EDIT: just heard that FTV: Lands was announced today. I know this a good card- my question is, is it on the reserved list, or could they reprint it in a Vault set?

As others have mentioned, bounce is nice with this one. Me, I am trying to get my hands on 4 of them for my five color proliferate/Planeswalker deck.
Also a very good friend of Ruin Ghost.

One of the best cards for decks that need a third or forth colour. Especially for a splashed colour this card is ideal. The "drawback" can be overcomed easily without problem. The only real drawback is that there aren't other similar cards as good as this one.
