Fermat : Would this qualify?
Curse of Poverty    
Enchantment--Aura Curse 
Enchant player
Enchanted player can’t spend more than three mana each turn.
If not, I'm sure I can find something else.
Fermat : Ok, howboutdis?:
The Plague Doctor   Legendary Creature--Wizard Cleric Worker When The Plague Doctor enters the battlefield, if each player has no viral mana, target player adds one viral mana of any color they choose. This mana has “Whenever a player adds viral mana, that player loses 1 life”, “If a player would lose unspent viral mana, that player loses 1 life instead”, and “Whenever a player spends viral mana, that player adds two copies of that mana.”
: Move target viral mana from one player to a different player. Spend only nonviral mana to activate this ability 2/4 |

@ Fermat : I actually also have a similar question. "Whenever you lose at least one unspent mana of any color, <effect>" Would an ability like this count as well? It only triggers when you lose the mana, but you need to have it in your pool and not use it beforehand - so I'm really not sure  Wording taken of Kruphix, God of Horizons. |

I saw this post earlier this morning before making my account. I just finished this not too long ago. I think a few minutes to be honest. I threw Valakut Invoker's art onto it because I didn't know if art was needed or no.

 Kezlek, the Mage Hunter Legendary Creature - HUman Soldier  Frist strike Whenever you lose unspent mana, Kezlek, the Mage Hunter deals that much damage to any target. 4/3 |

sdfkjgh: Even if this counts, it sounds devastatingly unfun. tszyt: I don't undeerstand how tockpile works. Or more correctly when it works. Can you do it any time? Or when the creature enters the battlefield? Discarding two cards to cast them for free sounds terribly broken. Or am I misunderstanding something? A picture is not needed, but highly appreciated. (See red text in the first post.)

Ohran refers to the Ohran mountain range of Terisiare, in the north of Dominaria.
I went back and forth on whether this should be "-1/-0 for each unspent snow mana you have" but ultimately I think this is the right call. I wanted this to be meaningful but not backbreaking for your opponent.

sdfkjgh : Hm, I don't think it does. It doesn't utilize a statistic from what is in the pool. @daij_Djan: Yup, that counts.

viriss: Muju goes easily infinite with at least these. Hooray for storm! I'd advise making a mana cost for that ability.

Omnath's Turmoil Enchantment Mana doesn't empty from your mana pool as steps and phases end. At the beginning of your end step, you lose life 1 life for each mana in your mana pool.

Nice Challenge! Omnath is my favorite commander so this will be fun! Thanks Scribbl for the very poignant criticism, I've made an updated version of the card that's hopefully not as busted   {Old Render}  I'm coming back to MSE after a long hiatus, so any and all feedback would be appreciated |

mosgon: as it's written your card basically has "B: Create a 1/1 flying locust" which is probably overpowered.

A challenge in homage to Omnath? Count me in, baby!
A 4/4 flyer for five generic mana might be pushing it, but it's a rare and a legend, and to be honest we've seen crazier cards in actual print recently.

I disagree with your assessment. Let's say you're running this guy in some kind of  flyers deck. Once you have seven mana sources, you can play it as a 6/6 flyer for 5. On top of that, it can give your other creatures up to two +1/+1 counters when they enter the battlefield... which could be even larger if you splash more colors. And keep in mind that you slap those counters onto any creatures that enter the battlefield, which can get ridiculous with cheap token producers. |

Lady Mapi: I've updated and nerfed the card a bit. Doesn't work with tokens anymore, and it doesn't break with persist like it did before. Also changed the wording to no longer mention the mana pool, as that term has been phased out on new cards. |

here's to hoping 'the number of mana in your mana pool has to be 0' is okay for this  |
