Getting rid or mana burn turned this card into overpowered into godly.

Obviously, with mana burn eliminated from the rules in 2010, the upkeep is now an immense advantage. This is another example of how current rule changes or card released can suddenly elevate cards released in the past. Remember when Lion's Eye Diamond was lame because of its costly drawback? Then, Yawgmoth's Will came along and the diamond became THE artifact to have.
Actually, I thought that mana burn was a good rule -- it added that sense of constraint and challenge to the game. Now, people can just tap out and absent-mindedly let mana drain from their pools without any consequence. I dunno -- cards like Drain Power were fun with mana burn as a rule.

This looks really promissing with Red Sun's Zenith and Mindmoil...

This is so dang useful. It basically makes a whole slough of cumulative upkeep cards playable.
You could combo this with Agent of Stromgald and Phyrexian Etchings to get an awesome draw engine in Mono-Red or {BR} Burn Discard. Also, you could use the mana it makes to blast out a Bogardan Hellkite.

justicarphaeton: Omnath only stores your green mana, not your red.
Why does everyone keep listing sorcery-speed cards as combos? Damnit people.

I can imagine this was a lot riskier before they got rid of mana burn. Now it's pretty much broken. I wonder how often that happens, when they change a rule and accidentally break a card or combo?

Good call @AvatarofBro. I used to love this card. But now that I realize it doesn't allow you to play creatures, I'm not so impressed as I used to be.
