Okay, question. Your opponent has a City of Brass, and you have, say, two open Forests and a Thespian's stage. Technically, your Thespian's stage can produce any colour as it can copy the City of Brass, and in turn, your Reflecting pool can produce any colour the Thespian's stage can produce. The way the card is worded, it sounds as if this is possible. I'm going to assume it isn't, but has anyone encountered this scenario?
That all aside, this card is a beast in my 5 colour EDH. One Command tower becomes two. Epic 5/5.

@BobbySinclair I cannot say because it depends on the ruling.
The rulings I know are: If you control this, Tolarian Academy but no artifacts, this can produce blue mana, but if you control two of these but no other mana pruducing lands you cannot produce any mana. So how is this cards 'cannot produce mana if you don't control other types of permanents' different from Tolarian Academys 'cannot produce mana if you don't control other types of permanents'? It's only in ruling.
Check fourth edition Thicket Basilisk and Kjeldoran Frostbeast. For all intents and purposes there effect should be the same (because the cards are contemporary eg. templated the same), but by rulings it is not.

Five Color Control: UUU on Cryptic Command, B on Shriekmaw, RG on Firespout, GGGG (or at least GG for the evoke) on Cloudthresher, W for Oblivion Ring optional... Half of your lands produce mana of any color, and Reflecting Pool did it at no penalty. It was one of the (or probably just the) most ambitious mana bases ever seen in Standard, and it worked perfectly.
Post Alara, Cloudthresher became Volcanic Fallout (RR), most of these decks also include Cruel Ultimatum at UUBBBRR. Just look at Gabriel Nassif's PT winning list, it's basically all the best control cards from every color. With a couple of Vivid lands and Reflecting Pools, UUBBBRR starts to feel a lot like 7.
