I'm literally in shock that some of the people posting on here are so stupid... Did they start playing yesterday? We have all been there, wondering why it was so great when it did a little more than an Island, or Plains, but then when you see not only can it add to storm count for free, or better yet, hold in hand for 3 Dark Rituals, and cast them all for free, and just go nuts with whatever you had in hand you start realizing that the reason it costs so much and is so great, is because it adds SPEED. Any game is going to be won faster when someone can pop this and a few Moxes out, and then Tinker for Inkwell Leviathan on turn 0, and still have Mana left to counter something.
And, to the moron who replied to the unlimited version, thanks for the laugh that you'd be able to kill it with Shatter, that was almost as priceless as this card. Moron.

You have to sacrifice it, thats awful.
What a bad remake of gilded lotus.
Over the course of 4 turns a basic land gives more mana.

this card is great but i agree, i would rather have a yawgmoths will out in play then a black lotus.
however having said that black lotus is great at getting yawgmoths will out, so maybe they are both the best card ever.

This card was a terrible mistake.

The major problem is that once they released anything coming close to From the Vault: Power 9, everyone who spent their money on power prior to that would leave. Period. And much as everyone wants these, and they will always get more expensive, Wizards will not reprint these. Eventually, they may just outright ban them, or allow for proxies in larger tournaments, but they will never, never, reprint these guys. And to the &@$+@^! who remembers them at $4, we don't need people like you driving people like us to make a time machine, go back in time, buy 50 of them and seal them in a case, and shatter the universe.
