Manabarbs, Enchantment, designed by Christopher Rush first released in Aug, 1993 in the set Limited Edition Alpha and was printed exactly in 18 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's a key card in 1 combos.
A red burn deck that aims to deal direct damage to the opponent would benefit from using Manabarbs, as it punishes opponents for tapping lands for mana. While Manabarbs can be effective in certain situations, there are other more efficient cards like Price of Progress or Eidolon of the Great Revel that can deal more damage consistently. Ultimately, whether Manabarbs sees play depends on the specific strategy and meta of the deck it's included in.
