T1: Forest, Birds of Paradise T2: Swamp, Coalition Relic, add charge counter T3: Lotus cobra (using, mana from coalition and your swamp) play Mountain, add green, then play Explore, play another land, and play Harrow fixing your mana to one of each color, play a Maelstrom Archangel and a Clout of the Dominus, now you're out of mana and should have an empty hand, but if you went second and they have no fliers, you could attavk with your 7/7 flying haste shroud and play Coalition Victory and win. (Throw some Summoner's Pact in to find some of the cards named in the combo).

That's an awfully elaborate situation you've developed there, Kurraga. Particularly because each card you draw has to be the ones you detailed, or your combo flops. Granted, that would make for some pretty sweet top-decking.
@BloodDragon: It's not a nod exactly, the symbol is the symbol of the Coalition which is why it was chosen as the symbol for Invasion.

Hm... Clock of Omens can turn artifact tapping into free mana.

One of the best commonly available (read cheap) mana fixers.

So, in order to ever build up more than one counter on it, you'd need to use some sort of untapping like a Voltaic Key, or proliferation?

Love Kurraga's combo. It's pretty ridiculous but I think he realizes this (one would assume). Card itself is pretty good.

What do this, Sword of Kaldra, Shield of Kaldra, Helm of Kaldra, and From the Vault: Relics' Mirari have in common? =)

@Darth Parallax: Donato Giancola, and a very good artist he is. I like this card. It's quite quirky and has a lot of combo potential.

@Long_Con You can get more than one charge counter w/o untapping or poliferate effects by tapping it during you opponents end-step and then tapping during your upkeep for 2 charge counters.

Handy for multicoloured proliferate...but who runs that?!
(Obviously it's a good card in other respects too)
I think this is my favorite of the many Manalith variants. The ability to save mana from one turn to the next, even just a single point of it, can be huge.
It might finally have some competition, though, in Return to Ravnica's Chromatic Lantern
Coretapper on this when it first comes out will allow you 6 mana on T4 before counting lands. 6 of which are in any color. Tap him, tap this (2) Tap him, tap this, (2) sac him (2)
What would I do with 10 mana? How about omniscience,
