Mirrorstone Valley
Land
When Mirrorstone Valley comes into play, target opponent may search his or her library for land card, remove it from the game, then shuffle his or her library.
As long as that card remains removed from the game, its owner may play it. (Even if Mirrorstone Valley isn't in play.)
Tap: Add [1] to your mana pool.
Tap: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. Mirrorstone Valley deals 1 damage to you.

Here's my take on a rainbow painland. Is the drawback enough to justify this? It doesn't give your opponent a land directly, but it decreases the chances that they will miss land drops, and may actually be enough to lose you the game sometimes.



Current Wording:
Mirrorstone Valley
Land
When Mirrorstone Valley comes into play, target opponent may search his or her library for a land card with a basic land type, remove it from the game, then shuffle his or her library.
As long as that card remains removed from the game, its owner may play it. (Even if Mirrorstone Valley isn't in play.)
Tap: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.

As it stands, Tarnished Citadel is better. The reason being that your opponent can easily search out Mishra's Workshop, Strip Mine, Wasteland, Tolarian Academy, Library of Alexandria...etc

However, if you don't want to limit your opponent to just basics, but want them to tutor up duals, I suggest a templating along the lines of:

target opponent may search his or her library for a land card with a basic land type, remove it from the game, then shuffle his or her library.

This card doesn't need to deal damage to you. ": Add one mana of any color to your mana pool." would be fine. This land is card disadvantage.

I wanted to make my initial version more powerful, but erred on the side of caution.

I think this is pretty close to unplayable. What about making it just tempo, but not card disadvantage? (Or vice versa, but not both at once).

Mirrorstone Valley
Land
When Mirrorstone Valley comes into play, each opponent may put a land card from his or her hand into play.
: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.

I think Illisius's version is much better and much cleaner.
