Golden Lotus

****EDIT**** Golden Lotus is now being considered a fake card and has been removed from mtg salvation and other preview sites. See my post about it here. Just figured I would put this here because of the hits I'm getting because of google searches about the card.

Golden Lotus

Legendary Land

Shroud

Golden Lotus enters the battlefield tapped.

When Golden Lotus enters the battlefield, sacrifice three lands, or sacrifice Golden Lotus.

Tap, Sacrifice Golden Lotus: Add nine mana in any combination of colors to your mana pool.

Golden Lotus is quite possibly the most intriguing card I've seen in a while. It can be paired with several cards to be insane. It can go off on at least turn five (if you don't use cards that fetch lands and put them into play) to do, well, pretty much anything you want it to. Banefire for at least 8-9 or maybe just hit for 9-10 with a turn five Hellkite Overlord. Oh, and Crucible of Worlds anybody? Powerful and elegant are the two words that best describe this card.
