@Kurhan As has already been stated, the converted mana cost of an object with no mana cost is 0. Panoptic Mirror cares only about converted mana cost. Please don't speak on rulings you're not sure of.

Dig this card, & Suspend altogether.
It's balanced, cheap, & low pressure.
As previously said though, it can be kind of a drag to get late in the game in most cases.
Still. Solid card advantage at an affordable price is always nice. 4/5

@applecorn: wrong! This card has no mana cost, but has CMC=0; the trick is that you can't pay non-existent mana cost, but the clause "without paying it's mana cost" (present in cascade and suspend ability) allows to bypas-s the problem. If it weren't true, you couldn't even cast it suspending it...
A great card, balanced version of Ancestral Recall. I used to play it with Izzet guildmage in my Izzet or Grixis decks: 
for 6 cards!
Bad if you draw it in the late-game...
4.5/5

You can't use Vampire Hexmage to take the counters off because suspended cards are exiled and thus illegal targets.

@ infernox10:
You can't remove counters from this using Vampire Hexmage because it isn't a legal target. For it to be targetable, it has to be a permanent. A permanent is a land, creature, enchantment, artifact, or planeswalker.

@blink182zombies: Not strictly worse than Ancestral Recall.
Dispel can't counter this.
You can play this turn one and keep all the cards you eventually get without having to also drop a Spellbook or enough zero cost stuff to empty your hand enough.
You can spend all your turn five mana and still get your cards.
Okay yeah, Ancestral Recall is considerably better than this. But not strictly. :p

@Darkersun:
The rulings thing says that it can be played with Mind's Desire, and as far as I can tell from how Mind's Desire is worded and how cascade is worded, it looks like you could to me.

This is one of the most powerful of the 6-tuplets, and it saw a lot of play in both Standrad (as is) and Extended (with Cascade). It guarantees you +2 card advantage, and leaves your mana open just as well as the much-played Preordain (which does far less).
Of the other five, Lotus Bloom is key to any combo deck that plans to win on turn four, not unlike how Black Lotus would have been key to any combo deck that plans to win on turn one. Hypergenesis found home in a cascade deck whose only plan was to cascade into Hypergenesis (cmc 0) with stuff like Ardent Plea, due to its ability to win the game shortly after being cast.
The other three were less fortunate. Restore Balance saw marginal play in some cascade decks, and IIRC Living End and Wheel of Fate never did. Their ancestors - Balance, au... (see all)
