Yikes! Grand Arbiter Augustin IV as a mana rock. Weird.

by Link:

I was trying to think of an ability that could toggle with the artifact tapping or untapping, and this was the most reasonable one I could think of. I actually started it out with it turned the other way — a tax when tapped and a discount when untapped — but I thought the tension this way worked out better. If you tap it on your turn for mana, then you discount all of your opponent's spells as well.
Unfortunately for that line of thought, if this were to see play, it wouldn't be in decks casting things at sorcery speed. Maybe the tax and the discount should be flipped after all.
