Joiner Adept 's abiliity.... is that in addition to the mana the land already produces? if so.... I'm looking for joiner adepts.
Yes, although it doesn't matter because it would be every land in addition to the actual land it is. The only time it would matter is if Joiner Adept dies then you would obviously only have the land for what it's worth.

Sorry, posted before I finished. That was a "yes" to what Uzumaki1 said. It's a color fixer.

Arg, posted again too soon! Basically, you have to tap your land to add mana, and with Joiner's ability you also have to tap your land....and you can only tap it once.

All lands come with a number of built-in activated abilities. These are generally
T: Add (mana) to your mana pool.
Joiner Adept grants each of your lands an additional activated ability. This ability is activated separately from any other abilities the land may have. Because most land abilities require them to tap (including the one granted by JA), you will usually only be able to use one of those abilities in any given turn.
tldr: If Joiner Adept is on the field, you can either tap your lands for whatever mana they could already give you OR tap your lands for one mana of any color. You cannot do both.

No, it gives the land two tap abilities (assuming it is basic). The first is its regular tap abilility ("T: add G to your mana pool" for a forest) and the second, which is "T: add one mana of any color to your mana pool" from the Joiner Adept .
You can only choose one, since both abilities require tapping. Meaning you only get one mana from each land (assuming there are no other effects on the field).

It is especially usefull for utility lands that don't produce mana or just colourless mana. And technically this should be in Q&A

Because there appears to be some confusion in this thread, I'll clarify:
landgrafb and Unforgivn_II are correct. Joiner Adept does not allow lands to tap for two mana. It merely adds an additional, separate activated mana ability.
Also questions like this belong in the Q&A.

When you compared that to trading post I got an idea for a new card!
Goat Incubator
All lands you control have "(tap) Put a 0/1 white Goat token creature token onto the battlefield."

@SharuumNyan: The concept of a "goat incubator" disturbs and unsettles me.

That seems pretty broken. Free, mass, instant-speed token generation?

I wouldn't think so, I assume its just a colour fixer, the ruling should be on gatherer.
