{"product_id":"lotus-bloom-oils","title":"Lotus Bloom (Original Art)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFeaturing the OG Zug version, the “Lotus” painting genre is by far the most sought after in Magic as a 1\/1 collectible, attributed to its link to the game’s most powerful and iconic card, \u003cem\u003eBlack Lotus\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eLotus Bloom\u003c\/em\u003e is an artifact first printed in \u003cem\u003eTime Spiral\u003c\/em\u003e with suspend 3-(0) that can be sacrificed to add three mana of any one color. This is huge in decks that want a one-turn big mana push. Decks that can recur artifacts (e.g. Tameshi, bounce\/recursion engines,..) use \u003cem\u003eLotus Bloom\u003c\/em\u003e as an engine rather than a single explosive play, that’s why modern Tameshi decks and some cEDH lists value it highly. \u003cem\u003eLotus Bloom\u003c\/em\u003e was an important enabler in many Standard Dragonstorm lists in the late 2000’s. This combo deck used \u003cem\u003eLotus Bloom\u003c\/em\u003e to generate a large amount of mana together with other mana ramp spells (e.g. \u003cem\u003eIzzet Signet\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRite of Flame\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSeething Song\u003c\/em\u003e) to cast a Dragonstorm. This generally stormed out 4 \u003cem\u003eBogardan Hellkite\u003c\/em\u003e which would each deal five damage to the opponent to finish the game. In Modern the card is very popular as it is being played in various combo decks like \u003cem\u003eAd Nauseam\u003c\/em\u003e, Tameshi Bloom and Belcher. Belcher variants use it to reach critical mana on their big combo turn and modern ‘Tameshi Bloom’ decks can use \u003cem\u003eLotus Bloom\u003c\/em\u003e as a repeatable engine. Playing with \u003cem\u003eLotus Bloom\u003c\/em\u003e means tuning your deck for the window between playing it and cashing it in. Mulligan decisions, discard protection, and artifact recursion play an important role when playing these decks. Michael DeBenedetto-Plummer recently won Pro Tour Edge of Eternities 2025 where he played his modern Tameshi Belcher deck featuring \u003cem\u003eLotus Bloom\u003c\/em\u003e. \u003cem\u003eLotus Bloom\u003c\/em\u003e is not on the Reserved List and has a few reprints (\u003cem\u003eTime Spiral Remastered\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eModern Masters\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe List\u003c\/em\u003e,.).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762019823661,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Lotus_Bloom_Original_Art_front_a_white.jpg?v=1775126865","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/lotus-bloom-oils","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
