What an awful card. Turn two it's a Mind Stone that doesn't let you draw. Turn four it's a Sol Ring for 4. Turn six, you shouldn't need any more mana. Terrible.

This doesn't work with etherium sculptor.

it's kinda embarrassing for those people who think this one sucks...it gets 4 out of 5 for me because you know what? Imagine how it works in groups...
w/o mana acceleration it'll play like this:
turn 2 you play one for 1xKicker then turn 3 you use your 3 lands and your other everflowing chalice to play another with 2xkicker (then you can use that one to play another one for 1xkicker), even without the 3rd chalice, turn 4 you have 6 mana, if you can play another land. If in the case that you played the 3rd chalice and have another land, you can summon something in the likes of Terastodon at TURN 4, see that wasn't so bad was it?

I suppose you can't kick this one by providing one of the mana needed by tapping it instantly when it comes into play?
Like on first turn: one land, tap for mana (halv the kick-cost) and Everflowing Chalice tapped for the last colorless mana to provide it's own kick. So you get Chalice into play on your first turn :)
Logically the spell must resolve into an artifact before you can use it, but the stack works in mysterious ways

@demoninabottle
Have you tried using it before? In every way it could be used in constructed? I'm pretty sure a use can be found for every card...

I'm gonna say it;
My favorite not completely overpowered mana artifact ever.

I found it useful during the sealed game at the prerelease. Getting that little extra to play my Admonition Angel helped.

Pretty much mana accelerating for any color. It has a lot of utility and is certainly underrated.

I love this card! Particularly in an extended deck that uses a Tron-like build with Comet Storm! The mana that the Urza lands used to charge up the Chalices can produce enough mana that could cast a potentially lethal Comet Storm....for multiple opponents even!
