My favorite low mana card is Creeping Ooze. It's as low mana as it gets, costing only 1, with the fantastic effect of slowing down the whole enemy team. It's a bit like playing with Pyre, but with only 1 mana cost and freeing your summoner slot for something else.
Of course it has the disadvantage of being killed off easily, but that might be a good thing sometimes. Maybe if you put it in your last position and the enemy has the sneak ability, the Ooze will have sacrificed itself to save your second-to-last card that is doing actual damage.
