Makindi Throne
Land (Rare) T: Add C. 1, T: Put a charge counter on Makindi Throne. T, Remove a charge counter from Makindi Throne: Add two mana of any color. Use this mana only to cast spells with kicker.
The center of the Skyclave empire... is a kicker storage land.
So I need to see the real translation because its unclear if you can use it to cast any spell that has kicker (which would be better) or only when you are casting spells using kicker (worse).

This would have been pretty interesting if it wasn't for the kicker spell thing. Reminds me of the last time we were at Zendikar and we got a land (Corrupted Crossroads should have just been colorless spell)) with an incredibly specific prerequisite for using its mana which killed it.

What do you mean? Crossroads can be used for any colorless spell.
Although I do agree about this card, it would have been fine without the kicker req.

Crossroad's issue is a very niche one, like when it comes to artifacts with Sunburst or Converge or whatever potential mechanics may come. We're unlikely to see devoid in any meaningful amount in the future, but it's easily possible for non devoid cards that are colorless that may care about colored mana in some way (ex. more Sunburst/Converge cards.)
That's really it. With Makindi Throne turning it solely into a kicker land really hurts it as if it didn't have that clause it wouldn't have been strong, definitely interesting and had its uses, but now it only has one specific use.
But if I'm reading/understanding the Crossroads, it can't produce colored mana unless the spell has devoid. So it doesn't work for Sunburst or Converge, correct? Maybe I'm reading these comment replies incorrectly.

You are correct, it cannot do that. My point is if it was strictly "colorless spells" instead of "devoid spells" it would have at least some use, but since all it cares for is Devoid that brings its future uses to near zero.

The point is that for non-Devoid colorless spells, the colorless mana it produces is entirely sufficient, of course. But that ability is not special.
