The Red one-costs six for a 5/5 with impending four turns at four mana, and then it Lightning Blast s a target, so you can kill anything from dorks to players
Sure, its a one note strategy, but going full bonk on your opponent is both hilarious and surprisingly effective
That meant that if you tapped Mana Crypt on your upkeep you didn't take any damage, so decks that could use the mana then could get two mana per turn for free
Some of the original cards with this ability were Brass Secretary and Capashen Standard
FFVIs big bad villain Kefka also gets a card, and can transform once you pay the 8 colourless mana
Thats not the best package, but its not the worst, either, and if were getting a lot of value out of the Dinosaur-ness of the card, its not embarrassing
