Cycles

• "Lucky Charms" artifacts — Each costing File:Mana2.gif and hosting an ability that allows its controller to gain life whenever a spell of the appropriate color is played: Angel's Feather, Demon's Horn, Dragon's Claw, Kraken's Eye and Wurm's Tooth (Reprinted from Darksteel).
• Allied colored painlands: Adarkar Wastes, Brushland, Underground River, Sulfurous Springs, and Karplusan Forest are each rare lands with "T: add 1 to your mana pool. T: Add C or D to your mana pool. [This] deals 1 damage to you." C and D are allied colors of mana. These lands are called painlands because their use for colored mana is "painful," referring to the damage they do to you.
