Hmm. So... it lets you save up extra mana each time you cast an off-curve creature spell, and draw all that mana back at the end. Seems... okay... not very exciting. A little bit like Mana Bloom, but that was only printed to tie in to Journey to Nyx's Constellation cards. It is just one mana, so I guess it doesn't need to be very good, but... How about making the last ability Mana Bloom's ability rather than sacrifice for X green?
May as well bin the drawback. Not very mythic, and it doesn't even make very much difference (anyone sensible will normally give you the mana rather than the cards).
I was trying to alter the original to something that didn't involve mana screwing itself. Also, there's already an artifact in this set that does that Necklace of Feathers, so that makes pretty redundant.

Needs reminder text for stampede.
Wow. That's quite a high potential card draw count. Still fine for common, I think - cf Distant Melody. Exciting though.

Hmm. In that case this is still pretty redundant. It's a fiddly way to do exactly the same thing in 90% of cases.

Why not just have the artifact tap for mana itself, either 1 or Z depending on case?
I like "scarred coalbed" fwiw.
