About Manabarbs
Manabarbs, Enchantment, designed by Christopher Rush first released in Aug, 1993 in the set Limited Edition Alpha and was printed exactly in 18 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 57.14. It's a key card in 1 combos.
A red burn deck that aims to deal direct damage to the opponent would benefit from using Manabarbs, as it punishes opponents for tapping lands for mana. While Manabarbs can be effective in certain situations, there are other more efficient cards like Price of Progress or Eidolon of the Great Revel that can deal more damage consistently. Ultimately, whether Manabarbs sees play depends on the specific strategy and meta of the deck it's included in.
Rules
10/01/09
On the other hand, a player can tap lands for mana, let the Manabarbs triggered abilities be put on the stack, and then respond to those abilities by casting an instant or activating an ability using that mana. In that case, the spell or ability will resolve first.
10/01/09
The ability will trigger each time a land is tapped for mana. Each ability is separate.
10/04/04
This card has a triggered ability that causes a separate effect for 1 point of damage each time a land is tapped for mana.
