Prototype portal will not work for this card. Because X = 0 for converted mana cost, it comes into play with no charge counters.
But that aside, this is a very good card, casual or competitive, because the X can be paid with 1 mana. well, control/proliferate Blue has a decent chance with the counter spells from Zendikar.

here's a thought, say you have it out as a creature, say a 4/4. then use rite of replication on it....what happens?

@froenx:
That won't work the way you think it will. Paradise Mantle doesn't stack with other {T} abilities; you'll have to choose whether you're adding 1 of any color or 2 colorless.
If you want a combo like that, you only need 2 Myr Galvanizers and a Palladium Myr, which lets you get infinite mana.

Because the converted mana cost is X, you can fetch it with both trinket mage AND treasure mage. That is very good with Shape Anew, and its new buddy Blightsteel Colossus.

If I make this a creature, then give it a +1/+1 counter, say with Steel Overseer, does it retain the counter after my turn ends?

Paradise mantle on the palladium myr + voltaic key + voltiac construct + contagion engine = over 9000 monster.
toss on leonin abunas in for protection and gruul war plow for trample. then it doesn't matter how much of a swarm they have. they all go squish and you win.
