@infernox10: Sorry, but you cannot get Progenitus out with thee loti, because it needs five colours of mana and three loti can only produce three colours.
But your point is still valid. BL is definately the best card there is. Those who cannot afford it try proxies or play Shandalar.

Terrible. Helm of Chatzuk is better, and so is Wood Elemental. Only a total moron would want this card. 6/5

This card is great in any deck or format in which it is legal. If you didn't rate this 5/5, than you're either at Hater...or an MTG Noob! 5/5

You have to sacrifice it, thats awful.
What a bad remake of gilded lotus.
Over the course of 4 turns a basic land gives more mana.

Ok, you know that this came first, right? Gilded Lotus is a copy of this, not the other way around.

Force of Will is the Magic reason why many people who think this card is overrated.....ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.
The reason why it is so poweful is it's ability to enable such stupid possiblities as:
Turn 1: Swamp, Dark Ritual, Dark Ritual, Buried Alive (3 Phyrexian Obliterators), Dark Ritual, Entomb (4th Obliterator), Dark Ritual, Living End.
Yeah, that's a legit move in Vintage. And there are so much more reliable way to completely destroy the heck out of someone on Turn 1 than 'JUST' four Phyrexian Obliterators.
So, for Combotastic Potential, it LOOKS like it's worth 5 stars, right? Well, if you made a whole class of par-excellence cards worth 5, then yes. But it is not worth '5.1' stars- i.e. it's not the best card in the game.
Because there IS a situation where it's a dead draw- the part of the game where you can't combo out.
If your combo is stopped by anything, Black Lotus becomes a dead card, because the normal 'pro' resources: drawing cards, extra mana, extra turns: stop be... (see all)
