Gemstone Mine - Weatherlight, Time Spiral Timeshifted. Uncommon, S
Land
Gemstone Mine comes into play with three mining counters on it.
T, Remove a mining counter from Gemstone Mine: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. If there are no mining counters on Gemstone Mine, sacrifice it.
I guess I should start doing the MTG COTDs again.
I have to say, this card is underrated. This totally smooths out your mana if youre running 3+ colors. I would have to say, you dont really need this in a 2 color deck with Dual + Pain land, but 3 colors, I have to say this card is a keeper. I would say that this card tops of Tendo Ice Bridge by a long shot. It comes into play with 3 counters. By turn 3, you SHOULD establish your mana base with accel or by signets. And in that case, the Mine has done its job and smoothed out your mana curve the first 3 turns.
Although, I would caution running 4 ofs or even 3, since having a hand full of mines = no mana late game.
The Duck's Rating: 3.75/5
