­Birds of Paradise Avatar + Determined Lawmaker

Your lands are utopia (but you have 3 less life) and sacrifice to make enchantments cheaper this turn.

I guess we're modifying mana somehow, then. (Also, I think they should bring avatars back.)

A utopia enchantment could work. Indeed it did - Abundant Growth. So not that.

Sacrifice to make lands utopias? "Burn out mana fixing" is a thing that existed for a while (e.g. Order of the Ebon Hand) - so maybe that? (Also, Icatian Cleric isn't a card? I got confused with Icatian Priest.)

Eh, why not. It deals damage as its way of counting - You can funnel as much mana as you like through it - but only one. Or you can stay safe and only change 1 a turn. Or you can give it some added toughness and funnel more. Feels like a reasonable little mii-game to play.

Name... kinda wanted to be prismatic? But I thought oroboros for the snake eating its own tail; and mana-er because doing that makes mana, somehow? Then of course 'manes' is a kind of imp; so we go into black for that. And because it's the whole 'sacrifice for power' thing being more black than green.

Probably a junk card. Certanly a janky one. Maybe I should have stuck with Divergent Growth as a 'when ~ dies' effect.
