Bookstooge's Reviews on the Road 
Now isn’t that just the weirdest pic yet. Not sure what I’m looking at. But then, I can imagine an artist being assigned “Blue Mana Battery” and thinking WTF? and then being told to just do the usual Blue Mana Battery thing.

When you play this as an iterupt, does that mean you use it in the time its the opponent’s turn? And can you follow an interrupt with an instant in this case?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Correct. Magic no longer uses interrupts, but calls most of them mana abilities now (which can be activated any time, period). But back in hte day, it was a thing. So you could play interrupts and instants any time. And you are correct in your last sentence.

Was there a limit to how many times you could use this ability, or was it put into graveyard when all counters were used up?
LikeLiked by 1 person
Nope, since it is an artifact, it stays on the board and you can recharge it if it runs out of counters.
So if you can deal with the long game, it will help out…

So the little square thingys are mana? I always thought mana came from heaven and was a tasy kind of bread.

In FantasyLand mana = magic power. The more of it you have the more, and more powerful, spells you can cast.

OK. Think I’d prefer tasty bread.

I do try and have seedy bread but every now and again get a craving for bacon butties in white bread. Sigh.

I just can’t get into the gritty texture of whole grain. I do love a fresh Italian or French loaf.

I don’t know what those are honestly. I think they are what the artist was seeing as representing mana?
And what you describe is manna. I actually had to go check the spelling to make sure it wasn’t the same 🙂

Is that the symbol for mana in MTG? 😮
LikeLiked by 1 person
Thankfully, no.
Each color has a symbol all its own. If you look on the text of the card, you’ll see what looks like a blue water drop. That is the symbol for blue mana.

A lot of these 4th edition simply aren’t powerful enough any more for people to play them. But considering I’m only showing them off and not playing, it’s all good 🙂
