Why is this card good?
Volcanic Island is one of the original dual lands, and it remains the gold standard for two-color fixing in Izzet decks. The reason is simple: it has both basic land types (Island and Mountain), enters untapped, and has no life loss or other downside. That type-line matters more than people realize.
Because it counts as both an Island and a Mountain, it's fetchable by any fetch land (Scalding Tarn, Polluted Delta, etc.), gets buffed by effects like Lord of Atlantis, and dodges nonbasic hate that hits "lands that aren't basics" less gracefully. Pure untapped, painless fixing is exactly what fast spellslinger and storm/combo decks crave.
Run it in any deck with both blue and red in its color identity — Izzet spellslinger, control, Niv-Mizzet, or any multicolor brew touching UR. There's essentially no archetype that wants UR mana and doesn't want this.
The only reason not to play it: budget. Reserved List pricing makes it expensive, and Steam Vents or Riverglide Pathway are 90% as good for casual tables.
