i just like to use it in 2 headed giant games and keep my other head several land-drops ahead of the competition, but your idea for infinite mana is pretty cheesy too.

Oh god, that flavor text... is beautiful... it's so nostalgic it almost made me shed a tear.

As others have said, it's good with multi-mana lands like the Ravnica bouncelands, Gaea's Cradle, or something with Wild Growth on it, and it's great with Mana Flare-type effects. But even without any of that, it's also color-filtering. If you have, say, two Forests and two Plains, you could use this to get WhiteWhiteWhiteWhite or GreenGreenGreenGreen instead of just WhiteWhiteGreenGreen.

This is surprisingly non-expensive, for a Magus. Heck, Green for vanilla 1/2 is not terrible.

We all know this is for Mana Flare or Heartbeat of Spring.

Obviously combos well with cards like Vernal Bloom and Mana Reflection in my Omnath deck, but would also mention that Magus can target any player's lands. My friends and I play multiplayer EDH almost exclusively, and with both Omnath and this card out my teammates can play just about anything.

This isn't strictly worse than Candelabra of Tawnos.

See, there are many other spells that can untap a creature, and if you had the right amount of things, you could make infinite mana.

To stay in Green, let's use Caged Sun or Mana Reflection or Gauntlet of Power + Umbral Mantle.

If you had 2 forests, you can tap the 2 (GreenGreenGreenGreen), untap them with Magus(GreenGreen), tap the 2 again (GreenGreenGreenGreenGreenGreen), then untap the Magus with the Mantle(GreenGreenGreen). You'll have a net-gain of Green each time. Repeat until you commander Kamahl, Fist of Krosa has stopped pooping himself with his Overrun ability or just attack with the infinite/infinite Magus.

Maze of Ith + Magus of the Candelabra + Blue Sun's Zenith = Good game!

Wizards, please bring me a new Simic general! I have so many things I wish to break in EDH.
