A Lotus for the rest of us, and an excellent mana producer.

A friend and messing around with standard and new M13 stuff, trying to break something. This gets imprinted on a Myr Welder. Then a Soliton gets imprinted on it. Then I die to Sands of Delirium.
I wish the format was slow enough for things like this to happen in competitive play...

It's five mana more than the original. And it's still damn good.
Just goes to show how balance used to be.

This card is just stupid in control or ramp decks. I run two in grixis control and on the opening draw you can go talisman, lotus, griselbrand/bolas

Rather surprised this wasn't reprinted once ages ago... a good card in any format that needs a lot of mana.

Rev up those Ancient Grudges, because I see a LOT of decks using this in standard.

I like this card a lot. The five mana cost give you a black lotus that doesn't have to be sacrificed. I think this is gonna see a lot of play in standard and I'll be happy to see it in my card pool at the m13 prerelease.

Broke open a booster pack today and got this one. Felt good, man.

I always like flickering this with Venser. It helps that they both rock on their own, but being able to drop a bomb on your turn and still have counterspell / Restoration Angel mana... just plain fun.
5/5 for being EDH and casual perfection.

With Ral Zarek in play this just became playable. I remember passing this card along in Draft just because it was too cumbersome to play on Turn 5, yep you basically wasted 5 mana to get back 3 mana, expending 2 mana for nothing.
But with Ral Zarek out you can typically tap 5 to play this, get 3 mana, then untap, and get another 3 mana. So in the end you are paying 5, to gain 6 mana. Netting you 1 mana more! you are probably thinking what is the difference between 5 mana and 6 at this point? Niv Mizzet, Dracogenius thats who!
