About Damping Sphere
Damping Sphere, Artifact, designed by Adam Paquette first released in April 2018 in the set Dominaria and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It see play in 6 formats: Modern, Legacy, Pioneer, Commander, Vintage and Historic. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of $ 0.61.
A control or prison-style deck that aims to slow down opponents' mana development and increase the cost of their spells would benefit from using Damping Sphere. While Damping Sphere can be effective in certain matchups, there are potentially better options like Blood Moon or Trinisphere that have a more impactful and immediate effect on the game. Whether Damping Sphere should see play depends on the specific metagame and strategy of the deck using it.

Rules
12/08/2022
Damping Sphere’s second ability counts spells that were cast during a turn even if Damping Sphere wasn’t on the battlefield as they were cast. For example, if Damping Sphere itself is the third spell you cast in a turn, the next spell you cast costs {3} more to cast.

If multiple replacement effects would modify the mana an ability you control produces, choose one to apply. After that, determine if any others are applicable. A replacement effect can’t apply to the same event more than once.
12/08/2022
To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost (such as a flashback cost) you’re paying, add any cost increases, then apply any cost reductions. The mana value of the spell is determined only by its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast the spell was.
