Strategy discussion aside, the art on this version is easily the best. "Mom, get OUT!"

Blue Sun reads Power Sink and sighs, dreaming of what could have been.

This USED to be insane. Now it's not nearly so as much. You see it's classified on the original card as an "Interrupt"--before the rules change later, Interrupts were a special kind of instant spell that couldn't be responded to except by other Interrupt spells. Nowadays if someone tries to Power Sink you you could just tap all your mana and play whatever instant-speed stuff you've got in your hand in response...in the old days, if someone Power Sinked you, unless you had another Interrupt, you were shut down for the turn.

You could compare this to Time Stop. Both say "You're not casting that, and your not casting ANYTHING ELSE this turn!". Time Stop has the bonus of also preventing your opponent from doing anything that doesn't need mana as well, and can even be a "simple" Time Warp if you cast it before they even draw. Power Sink's advantage is its lower cost, which can be a pretty big deal. Of course, later on, you might have to pump 6 or more mana into it to counter anything anyways, but at that point you probably have the mana to spare.
