I think this is more EDH-worthy than people give it:
A creature of yours is dying? Tap and exile it to City of Shadows!
The biggest problem is that it doesn't tap for anything initially.

Just to be clear about this... the oracle wording makes this not to trigger Savra, Queen of the Golgari's ability? is that correct?
Don't get me wrong, this is still an incredible card, and is going straight into my EDH proliferation deck, but it would have been that much cooler to be able to fit into a Savra deck too.

Deep Water makes this produce blue. Think of how many storm crows you could cast with this baby then!

I would really like this as a legendary land with "
: Add 
to your mana pool." in addition to its existing abilities.

Seems silly that even after all that trouble, you only get colorless mana. This should obviously be .

Also works well with something like Blade of the Bloodchief or whatever. Stuff like that.
Proliferate definitely makes it nicer but there were already a couple of counter tinkering stuff that still made this very awesome.

This card is rude in EDH. You can sac your geeral in response to tuck effects, and if your like me play it along side Preacher, Seasinger, Old Man of the Sea, Merieke Ri Berit, Dominating Licid, Sphinx Ambassador, and so on in a Sen Triplets deck.
I hear removal and mass mana are good in EDH.

This is a wonderful card in EDH, partly because it's always good to have a way to deny your opponents the ability to steal your creatures, partly because the games go longer and it will have more time to build up. It's good to use with tokens, or with decks/cards that can temporarily steal things from your enemies. Dominus of Fealty in particular is absolutely brutal with City of Shadows. I think if they were to print a version of this today, it would tap for 1 mana right away, as having to exile a creature is a steep price to pay just to make this a crappy colorless only land, and even when you've exiled two creatures, that's still a stricter requirement than even Temple of the False God. It's curious that this is the only land in Magic history to have storage counters that you don't remove.
