"The opponent can tap his or her lands for mana in response to Mana Web’s ability triggering."
Oh, what a big difference one ruling can make.

I'd just like to make sure everyone is on the same page. The other lands do NOT tap for mana UNLESS your opponent taps them in response. As a result, if your opponent does not realize this, you are sitting pretty... also, if you can make them pay mana on their upkeep, that works great, an amazing combo with this is by using Pendrell Mists which forces them to choose between killing all their creatures or having no mana for summoning more

"I respond with a shatter to your kneecaps".
You only ever get to use a Mana Web deck once.

It's a good card in combination with anything that makes your opponent pay mana at odd times. Pendrell Mists for their upkeep, Propaganda (which forces them to pay during their attack step), anything that makes them pay mana to block your creatures, Mana Spike... you get the idea. I made a deck based around that once; you just have to include as many different things to make them pay mana at different times as possible.
Oh, and psychic venom, of course.

Yuk. Takes too much to make this card effective. With the elimination of mana burn back in 2010, there is nothing stopping people from tapping out for mana in response to this effect.

I really think this card could easily be used in all decks. The ability will frequently either shut down the opponent's main phases, or prevent instants and flash spells from being cast. It will single-handedly shatter any deck that is based on counterspells. It will always be at the very least extremely inconvenient. Yes, there are combos, but if you ever have any space in your new deck, throw a few of these in there and see how it goes. I can guarantee that your opponent will not be happy.

I think the reason this card is not staple is because your opponent has the ability to tap their lands that would be tapped in response to this cards trigger.
Basically, 3 mana force your oppoent to use all their mana in one phase. Really nice verse blue though, and punishing enough vs decks that dont run seedborn muse or prophet of kruphix... and of course lots of filter rocks.
