"Before the end of your turn...."

You'll be saying that a lot. It has a happy little home in my U/R deck replete w/ counters. Helped me cast suffocating blast w/o even trying.

@Lavrant: Or just Power Artifact. It still doesn't work though, unless your idea of infinite mana is infinitely getting a single mana. I guess you could add Doubling Season though, were you so inclined.

Once you've got it powered up with at least 3 charge counters, this plus Gilder Bairn plus Paradise Mantle gives infinite mana.

Tap for 1 mana (+1), untap to add 3 charge counters to Gemstone Array (-2), remove two charge counters and tap Gilder Bairn for 3 mana (+1), untap to add 4 charge counters to Gemstone Array...

This is, unfortunately, the best mana fixing card in game unless i missed something. Wish there was a 1for1 mana fixing for my blue memnarch deck i have so many colorless mana from artifacts.

This allows Izzet Guildmage to convert red and black ritual-style instants to blue. I am no longer restricted to having to use three Rite of Flames for my infinite combos! Do I want to fireball or braingeyser you?

Like everyone else here, I love this effect. But when you're struggling for the right mana to get back in the game, boy is this a terrible 4-drop!

Plays the role of Mana Battery in my Mana Echoes fueled Eldrazi deck, so if I don't have a Fireball or Comet Storm ready when I cast (or Splinter Twin) my Emrakul's Hatcher, I can at least save half the mana for later, or of course, turn it into Red if I need it.
