i'd run it in some of my edh builds, not all but some
for instance i was thinking of doing up a kess build and i think it would fit in nicely. its really not difficult to get counters on it with things like brainstorm/ponder
Some part of me now wonders if there are enough of these DFCs (that are viable) to justify just using March of the Machines, Arcane Adaptation and Moonmist to transform all of them at one go...
My imagination must be working overtime because both sides look like some kind of helmet, almost Greek-like. Zoom in on either side and you can see what looks like a face inside.
Jace's Sanctum is also at 4 mana with upside, but Baral is at 2, though being a creature makes him more vulnerable to things.
Cloud Key is at 3, it doesn't reduce the costs of both instants and sorceries, and it doesn't have the additional upside this has. So I guess 4 is the right spot for it, all of this considered.
4
Artifact
Instants and sorcery spells cost 1 less.
When you cast a instant or sorcery put a charge counter on this
If there's 4 on it remove the counters and transform
Flip side
Land
Add one mana of any color to your mana pool if it was use to cast a instant or sorcery copy it you may choose new targets for the copy.
explosive vegetation will be fun with this.
And storm players rejoice with this.
Hijacked for images
And DAMN the art on the flipside is so cool.
I'm a fan of the art and flavor.
Use the land on approach of the second sun
Copy resolves first then the real one resolves easiest win ever?
EDIT: nope it has to be casted twice copies don't count.
Doubtful this sees competitive play but the flavour is awesome and an awesome build-around for draft and casual EDH.
You don't cast the copy so no.

Turn five = Cast mystic speculation twice with buyback.
Turn six = Same as the previous turn. Flip the artifact.
Who has that kind of time when there's so many free spells?

It is a pretty cool card nonetheless.
Yeah, but being a land means it's not hit by Bane of Progress or Austere Command or Aura Shards or any of the artifact killers.
Just kill it with artifact removal before it transforms. It's not rocket science.

So you want Instant/Sorcery Medallion?
