Wait...this is a thing? Like, an old thing? From before Manlands were particularly common and the god damned Valakut, the Lightning Bolt Volcano?
Huh. Didn't anticipate that.

If its ability was triggered by tapping it (ex.: tap: prevent all damage from land sources this turn), it would have deserved a 4. Like that, no more than 3... it can be practical protection against man lands.

This really should have been in Zen block, cycling be damned.

Never underestimate the power of manlands! This is also like the only thing ever that would protect you from Obsidian Fireheart Still, not that great. I am personally not a fan of any of the circles, but this one gets the most 'cool points' from me.

And as long as you were playing mono-white, it even protected you from mana burn.
@DrJack:
It was a joke - spending mana on its ability means you no longer have any floating mana to burn you.

With the printing of 'Valakut' this became a whole lot better, it still sucks balls though.
2/5 Stars

Great against Valakut, the Broken Pinnacle. You could also pair it with Tarnished Citadel and Sorrow's Path, though I have no idea why you'd ever run the latter.
@DrJack
I suppose you don't empty mana pools at the ends of steps and phases either?
I can't stand people who blame their losses on the fact that they play only Type 2 in a casual setting, or exclaim "THAT CARD IS BANNED" when you play Tolarian Academy in a casual setting (pretty much anyone who started playing after Lorwyn), but combat damage doesn't use the stack, world enchantments aren't relevant and mana burn doesn't exist anymore. Those are part of the updated comprehensive rules.
You're sounding like one of those guys who insists that people who don't play ante are cowards.

Sorrow's Path is looking better and better the more cards I look at Considering the man-lands that would be in later sets, though most helpful against the Urza's Legacy lands since that was when all this card and those cards would be together, this was a pretty good card to have, though at rare...
