You're reading it right. The mana sits around as long as Omnath is in play, unless you use it to cast a spell.

hmm i have a saproling deck, and when i use life and limb its not uncommon for me to have 250+ forests, so i can add 250/250 to this each turn. nice

thanks

Don't forget to add trample, now!

Think of Omnom as a mana bank.

I looked at that card, and thought somewhat of the same thing. I still thought it would empty out at end of turn, but if it doesn't, thats a great card.

Omnath: more dangerous than Citibank!

:D

Dangerous it is. Leads to very awkward play decisions, so I'm not a fan of it in competitive. In casual though.....massively awesome combos.

yeah it sucks :)

...

agreed it's a fun card and if anyone has 250 sappos they deserve to win the game, it should be a rule :)

iv never lost when i had that many out, ever i think iv only ever lost with my deck in the 1st 10 turns, but its fun to toy with people and hold 3 overruns and keep the game going.

and thanks to whoever said omnom im going to think omnomnomnom... everytime i see it -.-

Handling great power with care is part of being a good player. Dropping an Eldrazi Monument with a single token generator on the board and no replacement in your hand for example is letting the power go to your head too.

a given, but when a card in your deck goes from having obvious right and wrong times to play it to not only being unwise to cast early and being overly difficult to play? It becomes a mind game within your deck, which you should be able to identify as a risk to your play. I find the risk to outweigh the reward, and will not be playing it in competitive unless I or someone else finds a way to play it efficiently.

So if I understand correctly, I could tap all my green mana each turn until I have a decent amount.. say 20 Green stored. I can then Tap one mountain to Activate Fireball and Use the Stored mana for X? And hit my opponent for 20 directly?

And then it gets swerved back in your face, or negated, or cancelled, or counterspelled. Of course if your opponents are proactive then before that even happens OmNom I Haz a Mana gets pathed, slaved, wrathed, damned, withered, or hexmaged.

But yeah assuming you can protect it thats how it works.

faced this card for the first time today...he spent 5-6 turns throwing all his mana at it

so i just snakeform-ed it during his upkeep and all that pretty mana evaporated :)

I refuse to fall for Omnath's petty mind tricks. And they are, in fact, bolt/terminate on sight
