Holy shit, just saw this in the hobby shop where we play Magic, and I bought a set at once. So damn powerful. ( o_o)-b

Getting 2 other very useful artifacts in play in the first turn isn't as easy as it sounds. It's nice for Modern to have a Mox, but it's obvious why the Chrome Mox was banned and the Opal wasn't. With the new legend rule, this card isn't as bad anymore, but it really only shines as bright as an Alpha/Beta Mox in Vintage. Even then, having the rest of the Moxes and She-mana-gans like Sol Ring are critical for this thing to seriously impact the game. 4/5

The Artifact Lands are honestly more powerful in Affinity than this is in Metalcraft. Affinity is scary, lol.

This is a great card and 0-cost mana producers are ALWAYS great cards. But it's not 40-$ good. It's very, very good.

EDIT: "Obligatory Except in Vintage Comment" where it's $200 good ROFLMAO. xP Before the New Legend Rule this card just simply wasn't Power-9 quality. Now I'm thinking we need to remake the lists from scratch and say what the Power 5 of each 4 year period are in the first 20 years of MAGIC. After the 20th year, Power Creep + Nostalgia mean that too many cards will resemble most of the Old Greats to make it fair to actually induct new members. Not saying Design is drying up, just saying we don't want to pollute the list with every "Win the Game on Turn 2" creature ever and there's only so many cards with "Mox" or "Lotus" in the name that would be fair to include? I'll go by what decks they spawned rather than just the decks of their time. This makes the first 5... (see all)

WotC added the legendaryartifact type for just this situation. If you play more than one of them, they all go to the graveyard instantly.
@MasterOfEtherium
the legends rule is one of the oldest and most sensible rules in mtg...

Excellent in mirrodin, the most heavily artifact-themed expansion in the game. In most decks that would be running it it's either a free land that takes a minute to get going or an artifact that itself contributes to affinity or metalcraft. I dont know who would be hating on it. Its a 0 drop, for Karona's sake. if it doesn't do anything, that's fine. If it does, it's excellent.
5/5
