Artifact
Nine years after Kaladesh, Aetherflux Reservoir still generates table disputes, not about what it does, but about when you're allowed to do it.

The take
The card is fine. The argument is really about whether your group lets players hold priority and stack activations, and that's a policy conversation, not a rules loophole.
$19.16
with an EDHRec rank of 375, well outside staple territory but still a known combo piece
Plays well with
-
Bolas's Citadel
Citadel lets you cast your library off the top by paying life, which both feeds Reservoir's spell-count life gain and gives you a life total large enough to fund repeated 50-damage activations.
-
Sensei's Divining Top
Top smooths out what you reveal off Bolas's Citadel, keeping the spell chain alive longer so Reservoir accumulates more life and more activations.
-
Rhox Faithmender
Doubling your life gain means every spell you cast during your turn banks twice as much life, funding more 50-life activations before you run out.

Aetherflux Reservoir Rulings
- Sep 20, 2016
Aetherflux Reservoir's first ability doesn't trigger when you cast Aetherflux Reservoir itself.
- Sep 20, 2016
The first ability counts spells you cast earlier in the turn even if you didn't control Aetherflux Reservoir as you cast them, and even if those spells were countered.
- Sep 20, 2016
The first ability counts the spell that caused it to trigger plus any other spells you cast earlier in the turn.
- Sep 20, 2016
The number of spells you've cast is counted only as Aetherflux Reservoir's triggered ability resolves. For example, if you cast a spell, then respond to the triggered ability with a second spell, you'll gain 4 life total.
