Combine with Crucible of Worlds and Zuran Orb for infinite life-gain, or Crucible and Wasteland or Strip Mine to blow up every land you don't control.
Not even your mother will want to play with you anymore.

With Zuran Orb and Crucible of Worlds, you can have infinite life and mana on turn one
1. Drop the orb and a forest
2. Play Fastbond
3. Play 2 forests and a mountain taking three
4. Play Crucible of Worlds
5. Sacrifice the three for six life
6. Play those same lands and take three, tap for three, sac for six life
7. Rinse and repeat
Then play that Banefire you drew in.

Aw, a Blue mage is pouting because Green actually had a powerful card, that didn't involve mindless, stampeding hordes or 1/1 squirrel tokens. I've always loved Fastbond. It's great fun to have in your opening hand and cements Green in its rightful place as the king of fast mana. It's one of the few green mana-related spells that is decisively more powerful than Dark Ritual. I guess that irks some people. By the way, I was playing back before Fastbond was restricted to 1 per deck, and it was common to face guys who had 2 or 3 in their deck. Contrary to what "Justice1337" says, this card doesn't automatically make you win the game. Neither does Dark Ritual, and we've faced that one quite a few times, haven't we, boys?
Fastbond! Enjoy a green powerhouse without fungus, squirrels, or ugly, stinky quadrupeds!

This card is a little bit too silly. At least it has a little bit of a draw-back... no matter how pitiful it is.

Advocating for removing the restriction of this card is a joke. You honestly think that the competitive tournament scene would even exist if people were allowed to use these kinds of cards, unrestricted? The price of Moxen, Lotus, Fastbond, Timewalk etc. would precisely quadruple, then the players with the biggest pocketbooks would show up to the PT with a deck that wins on turn 1 90% of its games, then just flip coins for the $30,000 prize. You expect new timmies to show up after the tournies, read play-by-plays of decks that don't interact with each other at all, then say, "Wow, sounds like they had tons of fun. I'm going to drop the cost of a new car for the deck they're running and give it a shot at my local shop."
This card is a big laugh riot. The only reason this isn't included in the traditional lists of "Power 9" is because it isn't blue. You don't even have to think up of fishy combos to exploit it. Just shuffle it in, draw it, and boom, every land... (see all)

this card is like drugs: You get that first turn hit, wipe your opponent in 1-2 turns and all of a sudden that's all you wanna do anymore, look for that 1/60 hit to get you over.

I'm looking forward to when the DCI finally takes this off the Restricted list for Type 1 and the banned list for Type 1.5. God it's annoying to see people whine about how broken it is... You want broken? When I FIRST started playing, one of the first times I went to a tournament, I had an opponent with 12 Time Walks in their deck. TWELVE. And then he had about 10 Balance and 10 Jade Statues. I literally got to take 2 turns before he used a Prodigal Sorcerer to whack me for 20 points of Damage. He had all Moxes and no land so I couldn't have Land in play from Balance, and he'd play his whole hand in one shot except two cards, so I couldn't have cards in my hand, and since Jade Statue isn't a Creature until you pay for it, I couldn't have those in play either.
And guess what? We STILL had fun. And NO ONE whined about a card being over powered or broken. I can't stand how sissy they have made this game anymore. We all survived just fine without a banned or restricted list, and though ... (see all)

Shouldn't this card at least cost {G}{B}? Actually more like {G}{B}{4}.
