This was considered a junk rare before M10. Now it's absolutely awesome.

Two Words: Ice Cauldron
Let's you save the mana from your Braids of Fire to your main phase.
Also: Goblin Warrens. =)

Pyrohemia would be a good bet with this card. Just keep paying the upkeep cost till you get it high enough then use the mana for pyrohemia and sacrifice it.

If this card adds mana during your upkeep, under new rules you can no longer float it to your draw step and you could never get it to the main phase so its uses are actually quite limited...
Since Banefire and Fireball are sorceries, you don't get to use the mana on them...

THE ONLY THING YOU CAN CAST WITH THE MANA ARE:
INSTANTS
ABILITIES
You can't cast creature spells nor sorceries with the mana as it empties afer EACH STEP, including your upkeep! This card is at best 2.5 stars.

Really cool concept pre-2010: Over time, you get lots of mana, but the more you get, the more damage it can potentially do to you from obscene amounts of mana burn. After 2010, this is RIDICULOUS!!!1!!

Good job breaking this card with your frivolous and needless changes, WotC. Might as well go ahead and ban it now to add 'counter-productive' to the list of arguments against your change for the sake of change. Excellent work as usual. I wonder what the next victim of your fix-what-isn't-broken-and-break-stuff-in-the-process policy will be?

Paradox Haze for twice the fun!
Or if you really want, Prismatic Circle can finally have some sort of value.
