@Havens - I can't really see this guy (Barrin, Master Wizard) in that frog suit...

The storage counter lands can come in handy, especially in these colors.

Between all storage lands, this cycle is the most powerful, I think. It comes into field untapped, and can tap for {1}. Yes, it requires actually 2 mana to put a counter on it, but I think that it's a little price to pay, in order to be able to put counters since the beginning, instead of wait for a whole turn like the old lands... Moreover, you can pay {1} from any land to get mana from this, and still be able to tap to add a counter afterward...
My Izzet Commander deck need the enemy-color version of this land!
4/5

They say I overuse doubling seasons, then I used them to double double the counters on this guy and burn them to death with a delicious BaneFire for 20.

I think this would work quite well with Gilder Barrin

I play Pyrohemia.
That doesn't scare us, you've still only got two Mountains.
Remove all 6 counters from Fungal Reaches, 6 red mana, kill everything, then play a Llanowar Elf. Go.

This is more of a utility land than a dual. Regarding color fixing, Shimmering Grotto is better, but this can give you some extra mana after a few turns.

It's like a big mana battery. Save your extra mana at the end of each turn, and then convert it all into a massive 
spell. Waste not, want not.

Pros
1) Does not come into play tapped.
2) Taps for 
.
3) Can spend unused mana to get a reward later on.
Cons
1) Taps for colorless, could color screw you on your opening hand.
2) Not a forest or a mountain if your deck cares about that (Dungrove Elder, Howl of the Night Pack, Strata Scythe, ect.)
This is a balanced land, potential for great long term reward and providing a way to spend unused mana. The only drawback being having multiples in your opening hand as your only lands, possibly forcing a mulligan because of color issues. I recommend 2 or 3 at the most for a deck, solid land.
