This is very close to a colorless Mox. While a Sol Ring doesn't let you cast Mana Drain turn one like a Mox Sapphire could (or even a Dark Confidant like any Mox could), it makes up for it by giving you one more mana than any of the moxen every turn after you play it. After the Power Nine, Sol Ring is one of the best cards in Magic. (Although Mana Crypt and Mana Vault are of comparable power - they really didn't know how to balance these things back then.)

Love this card, but it is definitely broken and always has been. As far back as Alpha, this was pumping out turn two Juggernauts, which is beyond insane. 95% of decks are better with a Sol Ring, which is a sure test of brokenness. Might even be more powerful than the moxen; if I get a Sol Ring in my opening hand, I usually win.

Sol RIng is EDH's Sol Mate! (Get it? I am sure you do)
