Ah, the classic "{0}: Do nothing." Multiplayer politics I guess?

I suppose it's a puzzle piece? "This card is TERRIBLE! Find a way to make it work!"

Feeding mana into a mill-spell seems like the obvious way to try and trick them; for example :)

And I guess very rarely you might want the mana badly enough to use it, and the opponent might misplay?

But, uh, yeah. Not a sensible card really.

Yeah no opponent should be taking the bait there - they should be content with you spending {3} and a card for what is essentially a Darksteel Relic. As far as "making it work", I think most of its power would come from it being a {0} activated ability rather than from anything you could supposedly do with the ability. Ie. Crackdown Construct.

If it tapped, I know many players who really like drawing cards. Without tapping, it's just Trade Secrets, which is banned in Commander
