Seems like it would be nice in blue, given that you would have Leyline of Anticipation and Paradox Haze.

Reading the comments here is amusing, I would bet money that about 99% of the people posting "OMFG this is awsom" haven't realized this has very limited use due to the mana pool emptying all the time.

The upkeep cost of Braid of Fire is adding 1 red mana to your mana pool for each age counter on it. You don't spend 1 mana to pay the upkeep, you gain 1 mana.

With the new rules, this card just became broken. :O

As with other cumulative upkeep cards, run with Eon Hub.
...wait, shit.

Add Upwelling to any deck with this in it to carry the 
mana faucet past phase and turn barriers.

It seems odd to me that this enchantment has no ability other than the cumulative upkeep...
I realise its good and used to have the manaburn drawback, but it seems like it should do something else to me... like psychic vortex...
If you some how remove the upkeep this card does nothing...

Without mana burn as of M2010's rule changes, this card becomes MUCH more powerful. There's virtually no incentive NOT to get the mana dumped on you each upkeep. The card text might as well be rewritten to "At the beginning of your upkeep, add {R} to your mana pool" because there is no longer any negative effect caused by this card.
