The closest thing the game of Magic has to a $1 unrestricted Black Lotus. And that easily makes this card a 5/5

@guest57443454: Yawgmoth's bargain is broken even without this card. I think Necropotence is what you meant.

@socialexperiment: First turn 3 drops are only part of the power of this. You use multiple copies to reduce mana costs greatly. Hell, Ihsan's Shade was played only due to the easy mana this provided, and its un-swordsability

A card that is absolutely broken, and Wizards took forever to take notice that is was broken.

This card made far too many other cards broken, including Hypnotic Specter, Juzám Djinn, Hatred, Yawgmoth's Bargain, and fueled Black for 10 years until Wizards stopped reprinting it.

I've seen someone get a first turn Sengir Vampire by dropping two of these. Quite possibly the most broken card ever 5/5

The most broken card in all of magic, imo.

@Jerec:

Ancestral may be more powerful. However, you can actually get one of these without selling your firstborn.

This is very good. Because it is an instant you can leave on mana open and when your opponent is least expecting it you murder or doom blade their creatures. What i do not get is how doing a ritual generates mana
Also spellchecker says mana is not a word.
