Moxes are power people, I've used them all, even before the restricting rules came out. Why are the moxes powerful? well on their own each mox is a boost for speed mana, which is powerful (not broken) what makes them broken is using all 5 in the same deck, plus those newer ones Diamond, Opal and the Chrome.
it's like playing 4 lightning bolts, you draw 1 and bolt the guy he's at 17 (still alot of life) you play another from your opening hand he's at 14, the more bolts the more effective the resault. The same goes for Moxes, when your opening hand is..
Mox Emerald, Any land, Mox Diamond, any other land, Wheel of Fortune, (and 2 whatever cards, could be counterspell and Force of Will)
you drop a land, drop the Emerald, drop the Diamond and ditch a land, tap them play Wheel
You just hosed your opponent, they discard 7 and you both draw 7 new cards. At this point you've only played 2 moxes out of 8 (1 copy of each in the deck plus a Lotus) what are your chances of drawing mor... (see all)

Ultimate land Fix, this is why its banned.
4 Mox Emerald
4 Mox Jet
4 Mox Pearl
4 Mox Ruby
4 Mox Sapphire
4 Black Lotus
4 Tolarian Academy
Imagine on T1 you pull 3 moxes, a lotus, and an academy. Thats 10 mana and you would be doing shit like that all the time. Just make every deck you play run this and insane broken card atvantage.

Anyone who asks why Moxes are good needs to get in a time machine with me, travel back to 1993, help me buy all the Alpha and Beta and then trade me all of their Moxes.

sorry, but what makes this card so powerful?
execpt the fact that you could play a second land the turn you summon it (which is great but no quite uber like the black lotus or a lot of other cards)

A play set of P9 + Tendrils of Agony = Game over turn one and nearly unstoppably.
