Card Details
- Card art for the Masterwork Tools version was done by Xiff.
- Nova Crystal, along with Onyx Ornament and Stone Orb are a set of three Principalities cards (reprinted in Masterwork Tools) often referred to as dual gens.
- These dual gens are highly sought after, and are treated as if they were rares. The different dual gens are usually directly traded between players that are building Bicolor or Tricolor decks.
- They cost more mana than basic generators, being unplayable on turn one, and take two turns of mana generation to break even.
- They have the advantage of generating twice as much mana per turn however, and of two colors, with just a single card. This has the advantages of using fewer effect slots than basic generators would, and requiring one less card draw as well.
