Magic: The Gathering card spotlight: Prismatic Omen

Prismatic Omen is a card that makes all your lands every basic land type, allowing them to produce any color of mana and become affected by any spells that involve those types. This opens the door to many combos, and I will discuss them with you.

Draco- With the highest mana cost in the game, Draco is certainly hard to cast. However, his Domain ability makes him cost 2 less to play for every basic land type you control, letting you hardcast a 9/9 flier for 6. His second ability makes you pay 10 during your upkeep or sacrifice him, but this cost is also reduced like his converted mana cost, making it nothing.

Voices from the Void- This card forces your opponent to discard cards equal to the number of basic land cards on your field. With the omen up, it will force your opponent to discard 5 cards for 5 mana.

The Bringers- The Bringers from the Fifth Dawn set normally would cost 9 converted mana cost, but with one of every color, it can be played for five. My personal favorite is Bringer of the Blue Dawn, allowing you to draw two additional cards at every upkeep.

Clearwater Goblet- This card comes into play with a charge counter for every mana used to play it, and at the beginning of your upkeep, you gain 1 life for every charge counter. It is very nice to have gain 5 life per turn, starting at your fifth turn.

Coalition Victory- This card makes you win if your control a land of every type and a creature of every color. If you own an every colored creature, you win the game for 8 mana.

Last Stand- This card has numerous effects, and they all increase for every land you control on the field. Lets say you had 5 mana and you played this, target opponent would lose 10 life, you would deal 5 damage to target creature, you would put 5 saprolings into play, you would gain 10 life and draw then discard 5 cards.

Overall, this is a very powerful card, and its uses are numerous, from sunburst to domain. You can get these cards and more on http://www.mtgfanatic.com, with discounts and great rewards programs.
