I'm running this in Grixis splashing white, and it's actually working exceptionally well. Terminates help keep the board clear, while cheap creatures swing away and sacrifice themselves. When the Triplets come out, Spires and Arcane Sanctums give me a spread mana-base, and from there it's just a matter of "Burn yourself", or "Kill your own creature". Etcetera. Great card.

When Alara Reborn had come out, Sen Triplets was a card I really wanted. I ended up getting 2 of them, a normal and a holo. I felt so lucky! I can't wait to play it in a deck!

Out of curiousity, if you play from someone's hand, you must still pay the mana cost of the card being played or no?

So, wait a minute, it dies easily to two kinds of removal, costs 5 mana, and the only thing I have to do to stop you from playing my spells is simply play them so I don't have cards in hand? It's still good, but I'm not like shocked or anything, seems pretty easy to counter. Also, only being 3/3, an artifact, and a creature, she dies to everything, even more so than normal. I could still see this card being pretty good in a blue control deck that steals creatures and spells, but it wont always give the kind of benefit it seems like it would by what you see on the card.
Also, remember you -can- play the opponent's spells doesn't mean you necessarily can, 1) get any use out of the spells your opponent has available, and 2) have the mana to play those spells. As mentioned in other comments exotic orchard helps, but since exotic orchard isn't all that good limiting your mana base just so you can play this one card seems like an odd thing to do.

Great card, combine it with Memnarch and own the board.

Why do people think you can use her as a General and cast other player's cards if you lack the proper mana? In Commander, you can never produce mana outside your General's color identity. If you do, the mana automatically becomes colorless. Ex. In my Mono Red Urabrask deck, if I use a Darksteel Ingot to make any color other than red, it becomes colorless. So with the triplets, you can only cast white, black, or blue spells or any combo of those colors, provided they do not require an alt color that is outside your color grid. (multicolor spells) Even if you use their land from their hand as a land drop, that land will only provide legal colors for your deck identity. (Ex. A land that produces a White or a Red would essentially provide a White or a Colorless)
She is an awesome EDH commander, but she isn't THAT broken.

Reads:
when you play this card, your opponent sits there bored to death as they are unable to do anything, letting you win every game in the tournament until you have no friends and are forced to sit in the corner and cry, wishing you never got this extremely broken card. And then you get a soaring hope, realizing that everything will be ok as long as you do one thing. Turning, you ride your chimney imps to the nearest storm crow dispenser.
And they all lived happily ever after.
