Heh. Geometrically increasing amounts of Money tokens. Interesting that you can always sac them to avoid taking any damage, but there are obvious temptations to keep a few around...

No, they only deal damage when you use them for mana. Look where the quotes are.

The quotes only serve to show which section of the text appears on Cash Money. The sac ability and the end step ability are separate, full stop.

That should be made more clear, by writing "it has 'Sacrifice ...' and 'At the beginning of ...'"

So... the intention is it deals damage if you don't cash it in?

That was how I first read it. If it was meant to do that, the clearer wording would be to say

> It has 'At the beginning of your end step, you lose 1 life.' and 'Sacrifice Cash Money: Add {b}.'

If it's meant to damage you when you use it, I guess the clearer way to say that would be to say

> It has 'Sacrifice Cash Money: Add {b} and at the beginning of your end step, lose 1 life.'

In practice though I think the latter would be too confusing to print. In practice of course having any kind of recursively nested text like this is too confusing to print...
