Great, especially if you have Heartbeat of Spring and/or Sasaya's Essence out and lands that produce more than 1 mana. And considering the art has elves on it, you should run mana creatures that make 2 or more mana per tap, such as Rofellos, Llanowar Emissary, and enchant them with Freed From the Real. Mana ramp FTW.

This card doesn't combo well with other Mana Flare-type effects, since those don't actually change the amount of mana produced by the land. Rather, when the land adds mana, the mana flare effect triggers and also adds mana. But that extra mana isn't mana produced by tapping a permanent; it's mana produced by a triggered ability.
Thus, if you have this, a Heartbeat of Spring, and a forest out, then tapping the forest will give you a total of 
, not .
The advantages of this over most similar effects are, first, that it only helps you, not your opponents, second, that it works with all permanents, not just lands, and third, it works better with sources that produce multiple mana (such as Elvish Archdruid, Ravnica bouncelands, and Basalt Monolith, or just ordinary lands with another one of these in play).

Quick question - how would this work with Miari's Wake. Got into a big discussion about how much mana a land would produce. Using a basic plains - Is it 3 mana ( Mana Reflection activates first giving you two and then one for Wake) or is it 4 (Wake activates first giving you two and then Mana Reflections doubles it).

I run an elf tribal mana ramp deck with Elvish Archdruid, Joraga Treespeaker, and Seeker of Skybreak, built around playing a huge Primordial Hydra. The win factor was originally Spawnsire of Ulamog, but I'm a casual player, and no one seemed to want to play with me after that lol.
The point is, I just ran across the card. I need 4!!!
5/5

this is like the holy grail of green mana acceleration. but by the time you get it... all its really good for is X spells.
but hey, if you have OM NOM NOM Omnath, this becomes a pumping machine for it/him/whatever it is.

@divine_exodus: Since Terese Nielsen is female and Ron Spencer is male (they're siblings, BTW), I don't think the art is supposed to represent either of them as both figures are female.
The art seems more dominated by Ron Spencer's style, but it seems softer in tones compared to his other artworks.
Anyway, I'd love to get hold of one of these for my Karrthus EDH. The deck already has Mana Flare, Caged Sun and Vorinclex; this card would be a fantastic addition/replacement for Caged Sun. I want to see just how many times I can make Dragonstorm trigger. So far the record is twice (usually that's enough for the deck to win), but emptying my entire deck of dragons and having them all hit the board with Haste and an additional attack phase via Hellkite Charger would be a game worthy of its own epic.
