No. The mana is generated by Infernal Plunge, not the creature.

This + Priest of Urabrask + This = 5 mana on turn 2, with a really good hand. Which is incidentally what Urabrask the HIdden costs. That's a really good hand but still.

Honestly I remember how Dark Ritual was the life blood of competitive black decks back in the days and this could really do the same for red or red/black.

Forest, tinder wall, sac, lumberjack, crimson wisps, sac forest to cast this for Geosurge, another Crimson Wisps, 7 red CMC hasted phatty in one turn plus catrip 2x.
I ca't do this all the time but near-versions pop up inmy deck w/ alarming frequency, IMO.

Burning-Tree Emissary and this is RRRG mana to spare on turn two. Christmas-land 4 emissaries, sac one then play Festerhide Boar or any achievable 4 drop! Super unlikely. -Edit: they can't remove your creature in response as it is a cost paid at casting like the rulings for Purify the grave if I've understood the rules right, that makes this a bit better than I thought at first.

"A stupid card considering that we have Culling the Weak." -- Arachibutyrophobia
Well, Culling the Weak (or Dark Ritual) is a whole different story available in a different Format.
Shock for example was never considered bad either while Lightning Bolt wasn't available in Standard or Extended.
Still, I think this should have been an Instant.
Would have pushed the card into a whole different league admittedly, allowing you to chump-block or cast this in response to removal, followed by a burn spell. But it would have been damn interesting to see how this turns out.

Great combo card and also cool with any sort of storm . i built this super speedy goblin artifact/kuldothra deck where I put things like ornithoptors first turn for free , then sac it with the mountain i played and play Goblin Chieftain right off the bat . Flattened many opponents with that combo and people were legitimatly impressed with my deck .
Here is the deck list if you want "
4 ornithoptor
4 raging goblin
4 signal pest
4 goblin arsonist
4 goblin chieftain
2 hero of oxid ridge
1 hellrider
4 goblin warcaller
1 krenko , mob boss
4 krenkos command
4 dragon fodder
3 infernal plunge
4 kuldothra rebirth
4 mountain artifact land ( forgot what it was called)
14 mountains
Most of this deck was standard up until recently but I added some old cards when it rotated .
/
PS . this is my first post ,how do you rate the card with the stars ? It give this a 4.5 out of 5

Really bad compared to culling the weak which never made any waves really, I think wizards is really scared of mana accel like this.
