About Mana Short
Mana Short, Instant, designed by Dameon Willich first released in Aug, 1993 in the set Limited Edition Alpha and was printed exactly in 17 different ways. It see play in 1 formats: Commander. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.00.
A control deck that aims to disrupt the opponent's mana base and slow down their game plan would benefit from using Mana Short in Magic: the Gathering. While Mana Short can be effective in certain situations, there are better alternatives like Time Stop, which not only taps the opponent's lands but also ends their turn, providing a more impactful disruption. Overall, Mana Short could see play in specific metagames where disrupting mana is crucial, but its effectiveness may vary depending on the deck's strategy and the overall game plan.
Rules
10/04/04
It even taps lands that do not produce mana.

Since this is an instant, your opponent may use instants in response to the casting of this spell. Note that such spells and abilities will be resolved before the mana pool is emptied by the Mana Short. This makes it useless as a countermeasure for spells. To use it effectively, you need to use it during Upkeep and even then it will not prevent the use of instant spells and abilities.
