**Can someone explain to me how Horizon Stone can be any good? I'm feeling dumb at the moment.

The turns where you only spend 3 out of your five Mana you get to float 2 and use it on future turns.
It can also net you a lot of Mana with seedborne muse.

Normally, Each player's mana pool empties at the end of each step and phase. With this card, any mana you put into your mana pool just becomes colorless and remains in your pool at the end of each step and phase.
Horizon Stone makes all of your mana storable. This means you could do stuff like at your opponent's end of turn, tap all of your mana producing permanents and then store that mana as colorless mana. Then when your turn starts you can spend it or not and you wont lose it unless you spend it.
And this works with any mana you can produce. Not just from lands. Even with cards like Sol Ring or Mana Drain.
It may not suit a lot of deck archetypes but it's a kind of ramp effect and storage effect in 1 card. This can be very useful to certain deck strategies.

If you have lands untapped at the end of your turn, you can tap them for their mana, and their mana will stick around in future turns. (Though all colored mana becomes colorless)
