floating mana question?
Asked by labanog 11 years ago
until when does mana float when you tap lands? until end of turn? or until the end of your first main phase? can you float 2 mana at the start,then using cipher of Hidden Strings float another 2 mana once your creature deals damage giving you a total of 4 floating mana?

But can you float mana when you declare attackers step, and use it on declare blockers step, or not?

If you want to do this you need something like Upwelling , or optionally Omnath, Locus of Mana if you only need to do this with green mana.

106.4. When an effect produces mana, that mana goes into a player's mana pool. From there, it can be used to pay costs immediately, or it can stay in the player's mana pool. Each player's mana pool empties at the end of each step and phase.
Step and Phase.
If you float mana in the Declare Attackers step, it is gone by the Declare Blockers step.

Mana empties from mana pools at the end of each step and phase. You cannot float mana in your first main phase and have it carry over to the combat phase. You cannot float mana in your combat phase and have it carry over to your second main phase.
