{"product_id":"lotus-petal","title":"Lotus Petal (Original Art)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eLotus Petal\u003c\/em\u003e is a 0-cost artifact, first printed in \u003cem\u003eTempest\u003c\/em\u003e (1997), that can be tapped and sacrificed to add one mana of any color to your mana pool. It’s one of the most iconic fast-mana artifacts ever printed. \u003cem\u003eLotus Petal\u003c\/em\u003e is used to accelerate explosive starts like an early turn \u003cem\u003eShow and Tell\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eDoomsday\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eChalice of the Void\u003c\/em\u003e, or \u003cem\u003eEmry, Lurker of the Loch\u003c\/em\u003e. It fixes mana in multicolor combo decks, and enables storm counts (+1 storm count and +1 mana) without mana investment – perfect for Storm and ritual-based combo decks. Playing out \u003cem\u003eLotus Petal\u003c\/em\u003e also allows you to keep up mana for cards like \u003cem\u003eVeil of Summer\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eSpell Pierce\u003c\/em\u003e or \u003cem\u003eFlusterstorm\u003c\/em\u003e – protecting key spells in combo decks or winning counter-wars when you are tapped out. In Legacy, Lotus Petal is one of the formats defining fast-mana cards. It’s a cornerstone of Legacy combo decks like \u003cem\u003eShow and Tell\u003c\/em\u003e Combo (Sneaky Show and Omni-Show), Doomsday, Storm (ANT\/TES\/BSS), Painter, Oops, All Spells, Karn Forge and Reanimator. \u003cem\u003eLotus Petal\u003c\/em\u003e is also played as a mana accelerant in fast aggro (“stompy”) and prison variants such as Eldrazi Aggro, Initiative Stompy, and Dragon Stompy \/ Mono Red Prison – used to power out early lock pieces like \u003cem\u003eChalice of the Void\u003c\/em\u003e (X=1), \u003cem\u003eArchon of Emeria\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eMagus of the Moon\u003c\/em\u003e \/ \u003cem\u003eBlood Moon\u003c\/em\u003e. In Vintage, \u003cem\u003eLotus Petal\u003c\/em\u003e is restricted (1 copy per deck), and appears in decks like Paradoxical Outcome Storm, Doomsday, Underworld Breach, Gifts Control, Initiative Hatebear, and \u003cem\u003eOath of Druids\u003c\/em\u003e – its role is similar to Legacy, but moderated due to restriction. In Commander, it’s a staple in high-power and cEDH decks (e.g. Kinnan, Bonder Prodigy and Tivit, Seller of Secrets), contributing to many different combo lines. \u003cem\u003eLotus Petal\u003c\/em\u003e is not on the Reserved List, and has been reprinted multiple times.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"artwhirled","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44762016874541,"sku":null,"price":0.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/8000\/6957\/files\/Lotus_Petal_Original_Art_front_a_white.jpg?v=1775006197","url":"https:\/\/artwhirled.com\/products\/lotus-petal","provider":"Art Whirled","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
