This is a really bad mana filter...

This is actually a really great card from some point of view, it ranks really high in various categories:
"Most ridiculously unelaborate art" - Second Place:
Amy Weber gave us some memorable artworks, among others she drew Time Walk and Illusionary Mask.
But the art she gave us here is rather underwhelming, and its baldness gets outclassed only by Word of Command.
"Most overshadowed mana fixer" - Tied First Place with Standing Stones:
Both artifacts prevail over a growing amount of vastly superior cards like Mana Cylix, Prismatic Lens, Prophetic Prism, Manalith, Vessel of Endless Rest, Spectral Searchlight, Darksteel Ingot, Coalition Relic, Chromatic Lantern.

Am I actually clinically insane for wanting new badass art for this card? :P
Celestial Prism is actually a GREAT card because it has had SO many cards designed after it-- meaning there is quite a lot of Design Space for a card that is "Artifact. Make Gold Mana."
Of course it is 'primitive', but Serra Angel now looks primitive to people who are gluttonous for ETB creatures. :/ Is Serra Angel ACTUALLY a bad card, or is it GREAT that it paved the way for people to want so many "My Creature can Attack AND Defend" cards? (the entire Vigilance keyword probably owes its support to Serra Angel)
Mana Prism
Stalking Stones
Coalition Relic
Darksteel Ingot
Ramos Artifacts
Chromatic Lantern
Fist of Suns

Prismatic Lens

Terrible mana ability and quite possibly the blandest art on any card ever printed.

One of the least efficient mana filters ever, this didn't even see much play back in the day (dual lands were easier to get your hands on back then). Now that mana burn is gone, it's not even useful for that.

I really hate to be negative, but not only does this card suck balls, the art does too. It looks like Wizards got exceptionally lazy with this one.
.5/5, for the art alone.

The alpha version of this is worth five bucks. Anyone willing to fill me in on that? I mean who's buying?

Its weird how they overvalued mana filtering, but undervalued actually ramping your mana.
