Butthe late game upside is interesting here, because by that stage giving your opponent lands often doesnt matter, and at that point you can draw a ton of cards
Honorable Mention #2 (#12 Overall) - Laser Screwdriver AND Sonic Screwdriver Mana rocks might be boring picks, but mana matters
And this card isnt too expensive either
Other applications would be in decks with creatures that have powerful enter the battlefield effects such as Elite Spellbinder : being able to recur those effects can become such a headache for opponents who basically have to deal with them twice
This card first appeared in the Magic Legends booster pack and is easily the most expensive card in the series
4 Rusko, Clockmaker Life Drain With Extra Mana And Blink Synergy Rusko, Clockmaker seems like a weak card in terms of mana costs and abilities, but is surprisingly reliable and can be used to completely control the game soon after it lands on the battlefield
