Cantrips are nice, but I'd
really rather not devote deck slots to this that
do nothing else. Play it in Limited train
wrecks where you don't have enough creatures or
removal spells, to hope that you get to the good
stuff faster.

A great card for storm combo, but that's really
about it. All this essentially does is filter
your mana and draw you a card. Seems like it
would be good in the R/G Big Mana decks, but
it's really just a waste of space, because it
doesn't actually accelerate your mana or do
anything else except draw you a card. I wouldn't
bother with this, except in
Extended/Legacy/Vintage where this will most
likely see lots of play in decks like TEPS.
In limited, this is worthless, as it doesn't
really do anything.
Constructed - 2, but a 4 in storm combo
Casual - 2
Limited - 1

Personally, I think this card is very overrated.
Yeah, yeah, it "thins your deck" (which I think
is just jargon you use when you secretly know
your deck isn't constructed correctly) and gets
you the right colors, but it does nothing to
affect the board position. It's decent in combo,
but only in combo (and not even every combo
deck). This is not a card that should be seen in
control decks, and especially not in aggro.
I really want to like this card. I just
can't think of anything amazingly useful to do
with it. It's a good fit for combo decks
that use the Storm mechanic. It's an easy
way to cycle some mana and get you one card
deeper. But outside of that, it's uses
seem pretty limited. I've seen a lot of
people attempt to just throw this card into
decks and it simply does nothing. I guess
in a way, it's like playing with four fewer
cards, but I'd rather have "live" cards that
affect the game state in their place.
Constructed: 1.5

It is a great facilitator. It boosts
storm counts and gets you to double mana
requirements. However, it doesn’t actually
affect the board in any way. Ditto for limited.

Constructed: Interest mana fixer and draws a
card. It could help the Elementals, but they
have Smokebraider. It is a better because
Smokebraider could be killed before it could use
it's ability. But if it stays on the board it
can is it over an over again, but only for
elementals. Green and red always has mana
accelerators, but this one lets you draw a card.
I would try it out in a Domain deck and see what
will happen.
Casual: Fun card. Cheap and will see some play
with red and green players.
Limited: It's a great card for a deck with more
than three colors. Shadowmoor's hybrid makes it
not so usefull. But to draw a extra card is
always good. Especially for red and green decks
that seem to run out of steam.
Overall I like this card. Will use it for some
Domain decks I have to see if it will fit in.
