10 Most Powerful Card Effects In Magic The Gathering

9. Gain 3 Mana

Off the back of our number 10 entry, an even stronger card effect comes to us in an add 3 mana ability. More exclusive to Mana Vault, this effect can tap to give you not just 2 but 3 colourless mana, as long as you’re willing to suffer through the harmful effects that the card brings. But alas, we’re not talking about the most powerful cards, but the most powerful effects, and tapping to add 3 mana is absolutely absurd.

Everything about the previous entry applies to this one, though ramping out later-game cards with this effect is even more achievable, especially when you start stacking multiple of these cards if even playing a non-singleton format which allows them. Even in EDH, imagine being able to have this effect alongside that of a Sol Ring and a Mana Crypt in the early game. Forget the mid-game, you’ve just found yourself in the late game my friend.
