    Seeing as you have 8 sources of b mana why not consider a misers copy of vault of the archangel, the lifelink deathtouch can prove to be useful. I have a w/b/r tokens list and it proves solid.

    Burn at the Stake is a stellar card in a tokens deck, especially when they have vigilence.

    Quote from Small Child
    There are only two cards I can think of that combo infinitely with this. Maybe three in all of magic. That hardly falls into the category of "Way to abusable". Cards that have infinite combos get printed all the time, and most people would agree that's not necessarily a bad thing, it allows for a whole archetype. If a card that makes a two card combo with two, maybe three other things, is fundamentally broken then there is certainly a serious problem.

    *eyeroll*


    Off the top of my head: if you can reanimate repeatedly and then sac a creature for less mana than you can tap for you have infinite mana.

    There are plenty of repeatable sac outlets.

    Reanimation is slightly more difficult, but not too hard to find. 1 example being Golgari guildmage, it goes infinite when you have 7 mana plus a 1 drop in play and one in the yard.

    Havengul Lich also has similar issues, but you need 2 more mana than the creature you plan to cast and a different sac outlet.

    Quote from Maokun

    Hadday, the Ancient Fountain
    Legendary Land (R)
    Hadday, the Ancient Fountain enters the battlefield tapped.
    T: Add one mana of any color to your mana pool.
    Discard a card: Untap Hadday.

    IIW: a spell or mechanic that fuses two creatures into one


    Seems pretty balanced, would almost be a auto include in any 3 colour or greater EDH deck. Also possibly constructed playable. Really good in limited. 7/10

    Quote from Oculus


    Node Molder (G/U)(G/U)
    Creature - Elf Wizard {R}
    Basic lands you control have "T:Untap target nonbasic land."
    2/2

    IIW: How much interaction can you cram into six words of rules text?


    I really like the interaction with Maze of Ith/Thawing Glaciers. Certainly good in constructed where any duals are present, even better with karoos. 7.5/10

    Quote from LnGrrrR
    Conservation Theory 3G
    Enchantment (R)
    Sacrifice a land: Untap all lands you control.
    As the Flamekins waged war against the Great Forest, the elves
    did their best to carry the mana to untouched groves.


    Iiwsig


    This is really good, and if you play this with any way of returning lands is even better. With knight of the reliquary is a little bonkers. 7/10

    Quote from Oculus


    Kheero Bazaar
    Land {R}
    T:Add 1 to your mana pool.
    ,T:Untap Kheero Bazaar and target land you don't control, then exchange control of them.


    As a Zerduu player, this is awesome and oh so funny. With any land that produces more than 2 mana this plus a willing partner generates infinite mana for both parties. 8/10

    Lime Ogre 3G
    Creature - Ogre (C)
    Grist Drop 3 (When this creature dies, you may untap up to 3 target lands.)
    3/3

    IIW: Put 2 or more mechanics onto one card.


    Can wizards print this already??? I love this mechanic. 9.5/10


    Quote from arbitraryarmor
    Catalyzing Fields [R]
    Legendary Land
    Catalyzing Fields doesn't untap during your untap step.
    :symtap:: Until end of turn, spells you cast cost 1 less to cast.
    Landfall -- Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, untap Catalzying Fields.

    IIW: Emotion-inspiring flavortext


    With the not untapping without landfall, this makes your land drops so much better, esp with something like a fireball in hand. Makes silly things happen in egg decks. Possible to go off turn 3??
    6/10

    Quote from Asrama
    Weatherheim, the Last Bastion
    Legendary Land (R)
    T: Add W to your mana pool
    Whenever a land you control is put into the graveyard from the battlefield, untap Weatherheim, the Last Bastion.
    "With every day, more and more of our homes are destroyed by the Scethian war machines, but here we will hold firm, here, we will stand against the demon's influence."
    -- Cade, Refugee Leader

    IIW: Make an artifact from an historic civilization.


    This is really nice with fetchlands/stripmine and co, otherwise not too great as you are not going to reliably be able to get lands in the bin .
    6.5/10

    Quote from avatarz
    Shifting Grounds
    Land (U)
    When Shifting Grounds enters the battlefield, untap target land you control.
    T: Add 1 to your mana pool.

    IIW: A plane's core


    This is very nice, ok in limited, fun in edh, boderline constructed playable, but probably in a combo deck.
    7/10

    Quote from Cythare
    Weathered Hillock
    Land (U)
    Weathered Hillock enters the battlefield tapped.
    q: Add white mana to your mana pool.

    IIW: Disney princesses


    CCCCCombo. Silly with so many things. Probably ban worthy in some of the larger formats, given it can make inf mana turn 2...
    5/10


    Stone Hammer R
    Sorcery (U)
    Untap target Mountain. It becomes a 4/4 red Elemental creature until end of turn. It's still a land.


    IIW: CCCD mana costs.


    Go go manlands! Given that this can basically be a free spell, it is pretty good.
    Possibly could have been an instant.
    7/10

    Quote from Emocakes

    Autumn :1mana::symg::symg:
    Enchantment {R}

    Whenever a land an opponent controls becomes tapped, you may untap target land you control.

    "The leaves may rust and fall. But soon they will return, just as the sun does every morning. Bright and and bursting with life."

    IIW: Blow something up.


    Oh the shenanigans, in a u/g control deck this is cruel, and probably what it would be used in.
    7/10

    Quote from Piar
    Brushbraid Elf 2RG
    Creature - Elf Shaman (U)
    Haste, Crickety (When you cast Brushbraid Elf, you may untap a number of lands equal to one less than its converted mana cost.)
    3/2

    IIW: Tricky punches


    Nice take on the free spells mechanic, however it probably should be a etb effect rather than on casting.
    6/10

    Quote from pstmdrn
    Fertile Blessing 1G
    Instant C
    Counter target spell that targets a land or creature you control
    and untap target non-basic land.

    IIW: Narrow but 0


    This feels like the kind of counterspell green would do, but the untapping feels tacked on and not quite right, perhaps if it was on basics it might be better...
    6/10

    Quote from Oculus

    Bonus bonus entry:

    Rites of Seeding 3G
    Enchantment {R}
    Untap all lands you control during each other player's untap step.


    I can see this actually being printed sometime in the future
    9/10

    Quote from Prophylaxis
    Mana Drain 1U
    Instant (U)
    Tap up to two untapped lands, then untap up to two lands.

    IIW: Paincast


    This is mean, casting this during someones upkeep is cruel. In limited it would be a very early pick for control. I like it....
    8.5/10

    Quote from Small Child
    Gravetilling 2GG
    Enchantment (R)
    Whenever a nontoken creature you control dies, untap all lands you control.
    "Life and death are not as disparate as you believe. In death, we make way for new life. We live on through the blossoms as we did through our bodies."

    IIW: Demons and deals


    This is probably undercosted, I think it probably should be 3GG. Given any sac outlet and something like gravecrawler, it is way too abuseable.
    6.5/10

    Quote from swishh
    Flashover 2R
    Instant (U)

    Flashover deals 3 damage to target creature or player. Untap up to three lands.

    iiw: replacement effects


    Another 'free' spell, this feels ok in terms of the free spells. Would be printable.
    8/10

    And the winner is
    TacticalCelebrant HM: Oculus, Swishh,
    Next Up: Put 2 or more mechanics onto one card.
