How does powerstone work?

I used it, but it didnt give me mana.

or do I read it wrong and do I need to reinforce it before it gives mana at all?

    Must be the same as other cards that count only reinforcements and the base card as nill.

    Shame, means the card is pretty unplayable

    The card text says that gives 2 mana for each reinforcement, so if it was not reinforced then no mana.

    At the beginning of your turn, gain 2 mana for each time this support was reinforced up to 8.

    It went from potential pyramid replacement to just blargh!

    If only Voltaic Servant reinforced supports, instead of just increasing their shield. That would've been a nice gradual combo for Powerstone Shard

    Not a huge fan of tracking multiple things on supports, and yet we still can't tell which one belongs to each player

    The shield number is either on your side or on the opponent side

    And theres a small arrow above the counter, pointing towards the owner.

    This also took me forever to figure out

    Same here, I must have been playing a good 6 months before I realized that.

    I noticed that when I tried really hard one time to track my supports then I thought what’s that well what do you know theres a small arrow hard to see lol

    I thought it was explained in one of the first training. Not sure though, quite some time ago

    I was sad that there wasn't an arrow for Aftermath / Eternalize / Embalm, or any other way to tell who it belonged to if you ran the same cards.
