This is nuts. This is way too easily broken. Imagine this combined with Mirari's Wake...

I'm willing to bet mana short will become a nice sideboard card for blue players...

Also - players will have to have a way of keeping track of the type of mana in thier mana pool... "life representation, counters, tokens, mana pool pins..."

"Pretty soon everyone will be carrying around a toolbox just to ba able to supply the proper tracking methods..."

Anyhow - this is very easily broken... But I'm sure there will also be a "pool emptying spell/card" out there...

Now what do you all think of Dragonstorm?...

I have to say, if they were to release this card they did it at the right time (at the end of a block). Still, there is a lot in type 2 that combos with it (like Wake, Seedborn Muse, Riptide Replicator, plain old fatties) - it makes me afraid to see what it does in Extended and even Type 1. I mean, its a given that it will be broken right?

It can be fun in casual, as long as it's used responsibly.

I have a question for you. You're opponent has Upwelling and Claws of Gix in play, do you risk floating the mana?

Probably not, since most people will want to be floating the mana for some big x-spell for the kill and probably not thinking about how to just use the mana for something "little", like a creature that's just out of your casting cost.

Kinda like how Channel was supposed to be used :)

And the card...

I can think of a colour that would easily benefit from this - and it's not Green - it's Blue. If you keep mana floating around at all time and you have a counterspell in hand you can counter anything anytime! Also, this could get around Blue's slowness factor. This card is DANGEROUS. Combined w/ those new "Storm" cards it could make for some pretty sick combos...

So is this the "hot card" to get (so far) before it gets banned? Get and and trade/sell it to those tourney players so they can play it before the next banning rulings come out? :p

Didn't think of its application to blue... that's pretty cool, actually. And with blue's card-drawing, hopefully you'll always have a counterspell :)

Supercycling!?!!?!!?!??!!?!?

Aren't they taking this cycling thing alittle too far?

But it fits how they always seem to dig up the mechanics from the older sets.

Oh, just got a look at the page. It costs almost like ye olde winds. But the art is just Karona with a different background and two diamond things in it. :confused:


If anyone gets this card, I want it just for the art :) Adam is becoming a good artist :eek:

In regards to upwelling, why can't someone just disenchant it at the end of the controller's turn? Let him tap all of his mana, you disenchant and burn him to death.

Upwelling seems like a great (not to mention broken) card, but it does suffer than flaw.

It's sole advantage is that it has a very high casting cost. If you're playing Green, you should be able to kill them by the time it comes out...if not, you can just cast three quick spells to get rid of it...

Bad Ferret... Cycling doesn't need to have so much power that it can do everything...

Type I will never be the same :(

think about having some crazy put upwelling in thier type I elves infinite mana deck!

Turn 1 with upwelling: I'll repeat my process to create 100,000,000 green mana....

Turn 2: I'll repeat my process again so that I might have 500,000,000 mana...

Turn 3: Oh! I'll play my skyshroud elf and repeat my process again so that I might have 900,000,000 mana.

Turn 4: I'm getting bored so I'll repeat my process yet again so that I have 999,999,999,999 mana and burn you to death with my fireball :) Good game.

lol so far there've been no banned/restricted cards in Type 2. I'm interested in seeing what the first one might be.

Recently... but Urza's saga was well known for the trouble it caused...

As a friend of mine put it, Urza's was like Richard Garfield had come back and started designing all the cards again.
