About Brain in a Jar

Brain in a Jar, Artifact, designed by Daniel Ljunggren first released in May, 2020 in the set Shadows over Innistrad Promos and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of A$ 0.24. It's a key card in 1 combos.

A deck that relies heavily on instant and sorcery spells with varying mana costs would benefit from including Brain in a Jar, as it provides a way to cast these spells for free once enough charge counters are accumulated. However, there are potentially better cards like Aether Vial or As Foretold that offer more consistent and versatile ways to cheat mana costs or cast spells for free, making Brain in a Jar a situational inclusion that may not see widespread play in competitive Magic: the Gathering decks.

Rules

04/08/16

If you cast a card “without paying its mana cost,” you can’t choose to cast it for any alternative costs, such as awaken costs. You can, however, pay additional costs, such as kicker costs. If the card has any mandatory additional costs, such as that of Lightning Axe, you must pay those to cast the card.

04/08/16

When resolving the first ability of Brain in a Jar, the newly-placed charge counter will be counted when determining what spells you may cast. No player may take any action between you placing the counter and choosing which spell to cast.
