How is this not rated 5 (even though it should be rated above 5)??

With this and a Dark Ritual, you can play a Chimney Imp first turn.

Kicks the ass of Dark Ritual, and that's saying something.

Anybody who dares doubt the power of this card, just think about it.

3 mana boost of any color on turn 1. With a land, that's 4 mana, turn 1. With Moxen, potentially 5 or even more mana.

Phyrexian Obliterator, turn 1. Grand Arbiter Augustin, turn 1. Kozilek, Butcher of Truth turn 1 (NOTE: only works if you somehow happen to have 4 Lotuses and Kozilek in your opening hand). I could go on, but I've made my point.

Okay seriously how does the tempest version of Lotus Petal have a higher rating than any version of Black Lotus? Why are people rating this below 5? I know others have said the same thing, but come on why rate it below a 5? I don't have to go into reasons why this is good if you play competitive magic at all you would know why this card is so good. Hell even if you don't play magic competitively you should still be able to see the reasons for this is good.

I don't get people who say this sucks because 'all it does' is give you mana... By that reasoning Basic Lands suck, good luck making a full 0 CMC deck that doesn't suck.

All of you guys talking abot black lotus as dark ritual and coming up with these goofy combos are missing the (previously) obvious one that a lot of people used 14 years ago to repeatedly demolish opponents. Granted, the proper hand doesn't come up all that often as this card was restricted even back then, but the combo is a simple one: black lotus, mountain, channel, fireball/disintigrate. The lotus dumps for 3 green, cast channel - pop the fireball with the mountain and pump in your remaining 1 green from the lotus + 19 life from channel and the other sucker doesn't even get a chance to play. Channel and Lotus were both restricted even back then, so the combo didn't come up on the first turn too often, but it was still an instant kill when it did so a lot of people used it.
