Copying artifact lands and mana rocks allows you to ramp quickly, artifacts that allow you to draw and discard fill your graveyard and provide added card advantage when paired with Osgir, artifacts that give you damage and exile-based removal can hit additional targets, and artifact creatures at the high end of your mana curve can quickly build a lethal board. \n\n"},{"attributes":{"bold":true},"insert":"The Mana Base + Ramp"},{"insert":"\n\nThe mana base starts with every artifact land the deck can run (7), which are excellent targets for Osgir when he first comes online. A typical play pattern on turn 4-5 is to attack with Osgir since he has vigilance, tap an artifact land and sac it to pay for his first ability to give him +2/+0 until end of turn, then post combat, use his second ability to exile the artifact land and create 2 token copies of it. \n\nSince Osgir's ability can be activated with any color mana, colorless is treated like a third color in the deck.

Like most of the other high mana value cards in the deck, you almost never want to cast it from your hand.

And if you have a card in play that will copy Osgir's ability or trigger the card draw on the Lotus an additional time, it gets even crazier. And if you don't want to make yourself a big fat target by having 2 or more copies of Jeweled Lotus sitting on the battlefield enticing your opponents to attack you, you can always sac the copies before they get the chance. Or, you can use it as a political tool. \n\nOne last card that interacts with Osgir in a somewhat similar manner to Jeweled Lotus is "},{"insert":{"card-link":"Boommobile"}},{"insert":". Making 2 copies with Osgir gives you +4 mana. A copy effect, and you're netting 10-12, though you can only use this mana to activate abilities.
