So simple a card, endless possibilities. As stated above, this card is famous for its combos and prolonging a game. I wonder if this card was thought of as a piece of junk when it first came out? when i first saw it it didn't seem good. But now.... 5/5

@jsttu: No, people knew how strong this was even when it first came out. One of the big decks of the era was Erhnamgeddon, based around playing an Erhnam Djinn and then casting Armageddon or Balance, using Swords to Plowshares and Disenchant to remove anything your opponent got out.

This card fit perfectly in those decks -- you were planning to Armageddon eventually anyway, so it was at least a bunch of free life, and it also let you use your Balance as a second Armageddon. And if you never drew either, you could at least sacrifice your forests so your opponent couldn't take advantage of the forestwalk granted by the djinn.

Also, it comboed well with Land Tax, removing extra land from your deck while giving you life.

Many cardstores banned the orb once tournaments started lasting until three in the morning.

Great card in long games. You can't beat the casting cost either. :)

Besides being free to cast and free to activate, it reduces the pain of land kill spells, stretches the game out for you and combos fantastically with Armageddon, Balance, Natural Balance, Restore Balance, Crucible of Worlds etc..... A 5 star card.

Crucible of Worlds, Fastbond, and Zuran Orb = Infinite Life and Mana all at once.

One of the underrated and forgotten previously-restricted cards.
