so, Arcane Rings is the ultimate storm enabler? like we need more Dragonstorm fodder.
Vile Ritual has enough of a drawback to keep it from being broken. I am not sure if it is enough of a drawback to keep it from seeing play (see Lion's Eye Diamond).
Overall they seem like good cards. But it just seems aparant that the only real application of the rings is Storm +1. I guess you could also argue that it is mana acceleration in any color. Basically an attempt to fix Lotus Petal. Since it doesn't make colored mana, it may not be good enough outside combo.
Yeh, I see what you mean with Dragonstorm. That could suck a lot. I mean cards like Spellbook aren't as good with Dragonstorm if you considder Arcane Rings, which will lower the cost by as well as give it Storm +1. Point taken.
Artifact (R)
:symtap:, Sacrifice Arcane Rings: The next spell you play this turn costs less to play.
Vile Ritual
Instant (U)
As an additional cost to play Vile Ritual, discard two cards.
Add :symb::symb::symb: to your manapool.
(I know black doesn't produce mana currently, but then again blue normally doesn't have vigilance. See PC Spoiler)
