Coldsteel Heart costs one less, but comes in tapped.

For those of you that like this sort of useless information, the Alliances expasion featured a number of Gorilla creature cards. "Sol grail" is, of course, an anagram of Gorillas.
Just thought you'd like to know...

Reprinted as Manalith in M12 (almost), still useful.

Really bad by current standards, but I could imagine running it before the advent of Manalith.
Also: Not strictly worse, since your opponent is less likely to be able to get useful mana out of it with Steal Artifact.

@EvilCleavage I know you can't possibly be that dense, Do you know what an anagram is.
I tend to dislike negative comments and personal attacks, but that comment was screaming to be replied to.

Back on topic: Sol Grail in it's time seemed like it was a decent card. But no matter how bad it gets, it can't possibly rate lower than a 2.5 or so. I mean Coldsteel Heart gets a 4.1.

IMHO anything below a 2.5 or maybe a 2 has to have a negative aspect to it (it hurts you somehow...card advantage, creature advantage, life etc...), like Andradite Leech, Banshee, or Bargain.

not as good as the Ring, sadly.

For some reason people were really excited about this card when the set came out (more so than they were about Force of Will).
