It seems like it might be a bit of a sleeper hit. 1U to untap all of your nonland permanents at instant speed? It's okay as a surprise block, but I'm personally more interested in what kind of shenanigans could be made with mana production.
In standard, we have a few okay mana dorks, a few mana rocks, and Cryptolith Rite which seems like it could lead to something ridiculous.
In other formats, there are mana rocks and dorks galore.
But, I'm not really that savvy when it comes to constructed. So I'm curious what everyone else thinks of this little instant. What're your thoughts?
Mana dorks/mana rocks or Cryptolith Rite + Training Grounds + Soulfire Grand Master = if you can generate UUU2 from your nonland sources then you can bank infinite mana. Activate Soulfire for UU, cast Dramatic Reversal, untap your nonland sources, put the spell back in your hand, and you are up 1. In theory, this is possible and definitely works. In practice....well, maybe in Commander.
Isochron Scepter + Any amount of non-land permanents producing a total of 3 or more mana. No need to be all that convulted.

In what universe? If you build a deck like that, and ever draw that hand, I will personally come to wherever you live, perform complicated acts of awestruck ********, then disembowel myself to escape the world that allowed something like this to occur and validate you.

Yeah pretty much the first thing I thought of too. Heck you could just have things that generate 2 and then something like gelectrode.
