I searched and couldn't find a SCD on this one... for reference, Gemstone Caverns.
What does everyone think of this card? It wouldn't come up much, but, it's pretty lousy if you draw it later, or you have a demanding colours for your deck.

What kinds of decks would you put it in (if any)?
I would totally play it if I was building a stupid fast combo deck. You are likely to not be playing first, and the extra Chrome Mox is gooood.
I run it in my Jor Kadeen MLD deck as a way to speed myself up a little. Though with the lack of card advantage the colors have, and the fact that I run ruination, blood moon, and magus of the moon (I guess the second two don't matter too much) I've been thinking about removing it.
If your deck relies on being able to generate mana as quickly as possible in the first couple of turns, it's one of the best cards you can be running for that purpose. Edric, as mentioned, is probably the primary example; Krenko is another that I can think of off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are others. Otherwise, it's probably not worth it.

Its a .50$ colorless land for a colorless general after turn 0. That being said could be a lot of drive for the card in colorless as colorless lands are a pain

So, the consensus I'm getting is this:
In a deck that really wants fast mana, it's a must.
In a deck without heavy colour demands, you might as well.
It's good in colourless decks.
