I'm currently running a 5 color deck in standard, and three of these lanterns as a major crutch. Why five colors? Because the standard metagame is a degenerate piece of shít and I don't care anymore. Right, Gray Merchant of Apshodel, Fanatic of Mogis, & Master of Waves?

It essentially turns all your lands into wildcards, and taps itself for mana. I say it has a place in any multi-colored deck! Why not?!
Effectiveness: 5/5
Artwork: 4/5
Originality: 3.5/5

Why have mana when you can have EXTRA SUPER FIXED MANA?
I think this could have said "You may use mana as though it were mana of any color." Then I would like it a lot more. Although this way gives Sorrow's Path meaning.
Very appropriately curves into Chromanticore.

And that esper colored elder dragon, Chromium?
What was Google Chrome called before Google bought it?
That's right. Chromium.

Please understand that "strictly better" doesn't mean that the card is better in every situation possible. If you know your opponent has an Eye for an Eye when you're at 3 life and he's at 2, Shock is better than Lightning Bolt. That doesn't make Shock not strictly worse than Lightning Bolt. This card is indeed strictly better than Manalith.

Blood Moon becomes really popular in modern and Chromatic Lantern could be just the right sideboard tech against it.

It looks like it was made for edh, but it's pretty much unplayable outside of casual edh. If you have a competitive deck you will have good lands, so the first ability is pretty irrelevant most of the time. Without that, it's just a darksteel ingot without indestructible, which is bad. The people in the comments here are way too excited for this card. Comparing this to Sol Ring? Are you insane? This card is only playable in 5 colors deck, if that. When I pay 3 for a mana rock, I expect it to be closer to Basalt Monolith in power level.
3/5
