The flavor bodes well for me in my Group-hug "Diplomacy" EDH deck, as a welcoming embassy to my "opponents". A cool and flavorful spin on Rupture Spire.

Ironically, Rupture Spire's name fits Ravnica as well as Alara. They would only have to depict a gothic spire in the art.

I really do not understand how or why, but this is better than Rupture Spire.

Because somebody in R&D really wanted 2 Rupture Spires in their EDH deck.

What a lovely art. Would look great on your board next to Pillar of the Paruns and Ancient Ziggurat.

This is a neat card to splash any color in a deck without breaking the bank.

Rupture Spire?
You look a little less...
Ruptured.

What do you mean it's not all colors at all times?

I'd still prefer Evolving Wilds / Terramorphic Expanse.
There aren't many situations where I'd trade the -1 mana with the post-play colour-flexibility.

When I first saw this spoiled I remember groaning as I realized it was merely a reprinting of Rupture Spire, a land that I've tried numerous times to make work in Pauper but ultimately inevitably failing with. I understand that there need to be common mana-fixers, but a land that sets you back two turns will never be the way to go about it. Very thankfully, WotC added the new Gate duals for Pauper in this set as well, and this card, and its twin, the Spire, will never have to be used again.
