To answer some questions...
- Doesn't give Domain 6. It's a copy of a basic land, so for Domain's purposes, it is one of the five types.
- When would you not want to copy a land? When there is no land to copy and you're discarding otherwise, I guess.
Otherwise, for those who've never run a playset of Vesuva with a playset of Cloudpost before,do it. It's brilliant fun.
Also very, very good with Crucible of Worlds and a whole bunch of lands that sacrifice (e.g. Strip Mine, fetches, Horizon Canopy, Quicksand...).

Wtf?! I don't believe that this can give domain 6. I think when you copy a basic plains it will be a tapped basic plains and nothing more.

Used it in a land destruction deck to strip mine; Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and pendelhavens.

That ruling is necessary for corner cases...

@ thatoneguyiknow
You do realize that Emrakul, the Aeons Torn is legendary, don't you? If you cast 4 of them then you don't have any to attack with, although you would still get 4 extra turns as per the card's triggered ability. If you really want to swing with 8 Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, maybe you should look at Mirror Gallery.
Back to Vesuva, awesome land, one of my favorites--gives you anything you need even if you didn't need it. Still my favorite use is nuking annoying legendary lands that you can't foresee playing against. Tolarian Academy? Goodbye. Karakas? Adios. etc., etc.

@superlama, stop talking. There is no such thing as Domain 6, even with pink mana, because there simply are ONLY 5 basic land types. No matter how awkward you try to be about it, you can't turn a card into something that doesn't exist.

While combining this card with Cloudpost is a good way to generate tons of mana, it's still not as fast as Urzatron, even if it can generate more mana in the long run.
With four Vesuva and four Cloudposts, that's only eight lands to draw from your deck, and Vesuva also comes into play tapped. To fetch them, you could use four Expedition Maps, but that still means you've got less chances of drawing any of the cards you need in your hand than if you ran four of each of the Urzatron (Urza's Mine, Urza's Power Plant, Urza's Tower).
Let's also say that you have a Vesuva in hand and no Cloudposts. It's slow and will come into play tapped as another land, not to mention if you had two Cloudposts in play (with some luck), it would come into play tapped and not give you that three extra mana, though you could play some mid-range card faster.
Meanwhile, with two differing Urza lands ... (see all)
