I remember most people disliking this card back in the day, comparing it to a loan shark. I think with the new cards out there these days, this card has renewed value. 3 colorless on round 1 is pretty dang awesome. If you happened to draw your Sol Ring and a dark ritual, and a swamp, you could have 6 mana on round one to play with. That’s a round one Carnifax Demon, Steel Hellkite or any number of other goodies! The best part is no $500 Moxes needed, just a $3 Mana Vault and a $6 Sol Ring. Life is an expendable commodity at the beginning of the game. I’ll take 1 damage for a few rounds for an opportunity to deal 5+ damage per round to my opponent any day. Like most of the round 1 mana generators, these are restricted to 1 per deck, but just like my trusty Sol Ring I’ll be putting one of these in every deck I have now.
