This is great in a five-color deck, since your opponent is sure to have at least something you can use (in which case it's no worse than drawing the corresponding basic land), and it'll probably give you access to two or three different colors without coming in tapped or doing damage to you or other drawbacks. I like it better than Reflecting Pool for this purpose, since that will never give you anything but what you already have access to anyway.

This is good in muliplayer in the sense that if you know which colors your opponents is going to play to can adjust accordingly. if you know that someone is going to play a color or even better a multicolor deck. You are the man but this kind of mana fixing can make you a target.

Blue stealer decks can benefit greatly from this, as you can yoink the enemies' creatures that contain activated abilities with non-blue activation costs.

Could be good with Nightveil Specter.

In multiplayer EDH, this is a great budget option. Sure, it's not great in duels, but I can think of a number of cards that aren't great in duels. You can pick one of these up for $2 on the high side, and at the very least it taps for a colorless mana and comes into play untapped. It's worth a slot in EDH.
