How much mana is produced
Asked by Weekend_Magic_NC 5 years ago
Let's just say I have a Forest in play with Utopia Sprawl attached. I also have Zendikar Resurgent , Mirari's Wake, and Mana Reflection in play. I tap the Forest. How much mana do I produce?

I thought it would be 1 for the Forest , 1 for the Utopia Sprawl , 1 for Zendikar Resurgent , 1 for Mirari's Wake...4. Then Mana Reflection would double it so 8. This is the kind of word problem that should be on the SAT.

First, there for future reference, there is a Rules Q&A section of this site for questions regarding cards, card interactions, or specific rules. I've moved your thread there for convenience. There are always players lurking there ready to fire off answers.
Unlike the normal forum section, you can "Mark as Answer" a response on the Rules Q&A forum, indicating your question has been resolved and helping keep the forums from getting cluttered.
To answer your question:
Mana Reflection is a replacement effect that modifies how permanents produce mana. As such, it will apply first. The other mana producing cards will occur second--each adding an additional one mana.
Forest will tap for due to Mana Reflection's replacement effect.
Utopia Sprawl will provide one mana of the chosen colour, let's say you picked .
Zendikar Resurgent and Mirari's Wake both add one mana the land produced. Even though Utopia Sprawl produced as a result of the Forest being tapped, the Forest itself only produced , so you would only be able to add due to these two cards.
Since none of the enchantments are being tapped for their mana, none of their mana production implicates Mana Reflection.
So, you would end up with (Forest); (Utopia Sprawl); (Zendikar Resurgent); (Mirari's Wake), for a total of 5 mana.
Edit: Seems I was Ninja'd.
Frankly, I think many Magic Rules Questions are probably well beyond the SAT--I've seen rules questions that surpass what was on the Bar Exam.

Thanks for the post move. I'm still learning the forum navigation. And thank you both for the answers. It clears it up.

It should be 5. 1 for the Forest + another 1 for Mana Reflection + 1 for Zendikar Resurgent + 1 for Mirari's Wake + 1 for Utopia Sprawl
