Welcome back, favorite card ever.
Thank you for being in my favorite Guild,
and thanks for that extra bonus I get for my extra GG :)
I can't wait to suck up a giant Sphinx's Revelation and spit out an even larger Mind Grind
(or, you know, my own Revelation).

A fixed Mana Drain is still a Mana Drain.

5/5 for being Mana Drain not overpowered.

Four mana is a lot, especially when they are all colored mana. That said, the boost from a successful cast of this spell is better than Mana Drain since you actually get to add mana of any color combination into your manapool instead of just colorless mana.
Run this with Noble Hierarch or Birds of Paradise to ensure a better chance of casting it.

This is what Mana Drain should have been from the start. 
for the counter, 
for the mana, and a color-intensive cost that prevents it from being better than Counterspell.
As it stands, this looks set to be another sweet counterspell for Simic decks, less efficient than Voidslime but miles ahead of Mystic Genesis.

I like that this is actually as good as Mana Drain in EDH.

Balanced Mana Drain. If only we had a reliable way to cast it in any deck...oh wait, we do. Break out the Chromatic Lanterns!

I knew they'd eventually print you in an affordable form.
Welcome back indeed!

The art on this card is fantastic, especially in foil. Even though he's getting blocked, it's still pretty cool to see that for all his sitting and thinking and apathy, Niv-Mizzet can still remind you he's a terrifying 15,000-year-old fire-breathing dragon if you make him angry.
Great card, too, by the way. I probably won't ever use it unless I revamp my whole deck, but I can definitely see its potential. High value, made 5/5 for the art.
