That's a nice Blood Moon you have there.

Far and away my favorite card of the set (gee, can you tell I'm mostly EDH?)
The extra value this gives to lands like Diamond Valley or Boseiju, Who Shelters All is totally worth the 3-
The extra mana rock is really just icing.
My only regret is that this, unlike my beloved Darksteel Ingot,
will inevitably become the victim of Spot Removal.
Also, this is way more useful than Ingot in monocolored decks.
This gem isn't just for 5 color decks, guys ;)

So it's basically a Darksteel Ingot that transforms all your lands into an improved City of Brass....
Yeah, nothing bad can be said here.

Nightveil Specter and this seem to be made for each other. Your opponent will be playing their own deck.

I think its safe to say that this Standard season is the greatest ever seen in terms of mana fixing. Don't think so? Ravnica Shocklands, M10 Duals, Innistrad Duals, and this gorgeous piece of cardboard here. Honestly, the only way to make it better would be for Wizards to say "Hey, what were we thinking? Just play what you want, forget about colours."

Please do note that Prismatic Omen had a similar effect for cheaper, though this does also accelerate. It's definitely not without precedent and I wouldn't say it's too far out of line, either (consider omen + Arbor Elf for a similar effect at the same cost). Making it available to everyone, while awesome, was a necessary move given how multicolour-heavy Ravnica traditionally is. All in all, this card should do its job just fine without being too overbearing (remember that two-colour decks are going to be the most common, in which case land fixing for two colours without this isn't even too strenuous)

I'd still use darksteel ingot over this in Commander, but there is no reason not to use both.

It's amazing how quickly folks commented on this card and (mostly) expressed great praise for its EDH versatility and benefit - I agree that this card deserves high accolades.
It increases the value of each of one's lands tremendously - with this in play, all your lands have at least the functionality of Command Tower and can be used for much greater tactical versatility than otherwise.
Now, all color combinations can have access to a card with Joiner Adept's special ability.

Wizards: Like EDH?
Players: Yes
W: Then you're gonna love this!
Every EDH deck should play this even if it's mono colored to get around crap like hall of gemstone or celestial dawn
