Oh no... You get more mana on each of your upkeeps...
CLEARLY a problem.

a burn archtype could emerge eventually using this mana to fuel larger burn cards and grim lavamancer. The reasons being that with more mana you get better burn per card, making it harder to fizzle and much easier to get through the long game.
Someone on Rift Elemental mentioned a deck where they used this with him in order to quickly cast suspended cards and such.

Remember, you have to spend the mana during your upkeep. When the phase changes, your going to lose all that mana.
I would combo with leyline of anticipation, to be able to cast anything I want during my upkeep.

Combine with barrage of expendables and assemble the legion for lots of damage eventually.
sphere of safety will help
Search them out with enduring ideal combined with paradox haze

Oh, right, mana burn. That's not a problem anymore.

One of very few Cumulative Upkeep cards you WANT to accelerate the growth of Counters on it...

This works really well in decks with both Paradox Haze and Curse of the Pierced Heart, especially if you can get a Leyline of Anticipation out.

Back when mana burn was a thing, this was a gamble.
Nowadays, so long as you've got a use for lots of
during your upkeep you've got absolutely no reason NOT to run this. It's a ludicrous amount of free mana.

I just looked up this card after seeing a guy playing it (illegally). I knew it must have been too good to be true. I mean heck, it's still amazing in a red burn deck, especially with X costs.
