I mean, the turn this becomes active I can just cast Gilded Lotus and get 3 mana all the time?
Sure, you can do infinite mana, but that's trivially easy with Basalt Monolith and so on.

The "Crazy One", playing casual magic and occasionally dipping his toes into regular play since 1994.
Currently focusing on Pre-Modern (Mono-Black Discard Control) and Modern (Azorious Control, Temur Rhinos).
Find me at the Wizard's Tower in Ottawa every second Saturday afternoons.
It would have been nice if it already came with a counter. I think any other change and it may have been too much. It certainly shouldn’t cost less mana.
Plus those are fetcheable with trinket mage, still this card is not that bad, it has a lot of potent combinations and synergies Unwinding Clock let it charge at least 3 counters by the time its your turn again, plus having generated 6 mana among 3 turns, for example.
Into play tapped without a counter? So a full turn for four mana without jumping through hoops to get just 1 mana?
**** this thing and its lazy design
I disagree. This is the kind of card that certain players (ie: players like me) love messing around with for style points. Yeah it's inefficient. Most games of EDH are that way. There are so many ways to get fun things going with this and it's a great way to teach newer players about card interactions right out of the gate. Nevermind that if they want to learn about efficiency this card also teaches that by how it compares to other cards that have been mentioned here. I'd actually say this is pretty interesting design... if you consider that not every card is or can be designed to be exceptionally powerful on its own.
They even throw in a infinite mana trick with it with filigree sages

PS: It's a good thing Paradox Engine is now banned in edh...

Now, did development cost it into a deep, dark hole where only a few niche combo decks dare to follow it? Looks about right.
But if this thing were broadly playable, it would be banned faster than Black Lotus.

Cards I still want to see created:
|| Olantin, Lost City || Pavios and Thanasis || Choryu ||
Plenty of cards that untap artifacts for a manacost only, and all of them combo with this for infinited mana and untaps.
If this does anything its broken, if it does nothing, well, it taps for mana at least.
