It essentially reads, "Tap 6 to get 5." It isn't all that great. Good mana-fixing and this land becomes utterly worthless. Sorry casual players, I've never found a good use for it in any deck.

Well... two of them and ten free mana let's you hardcast Progenitus. Yeah it's worthless, just cheat the WUBRGs into play.

Remember, it costs 6 to get one of each color. Your tapping this land which normally produces a colorless, plus 5 more mana, that's 6 total. Your loosing one mana in the process!


Great card nonetheless.

I'm making a Child of Alara commander deck with zero nonland permanents. This is solid fixing for it :v

@Travelsonic: They are right. By requiring a Tap to activate this card, you are essentially paying 6 to get WhiteBlueBlackRedGreen. At least TheWrathofShane sees the potential in this card, unlike Digit. There are many things that make a decent amount of colorless mana (sol ring, thran dynamo), and even things that make multiple of a single color (gilded lotus, black lotus... cuz we all have one of those, right? we wish....), so the be able to filter 5 of of any other color combo into WhiteBlueBlackRedGreen is great.

Plus one needs to consider when this card came out. The options for really good multi-colored lands was not nearly as broad as it is today. Obviously dual lands were available, but its not like during Odyssey they were flowing like wine. Point is it does its job of filtering 5 of any color combination into WhiteBlueBlackRedGreen and sometimes that is exactly what you need. It filters, and it does a decent job at it. There are plenty of good reasons for that. Many already mentioned in this thread.

@bbone... That still makes no sense to n me at all. I mean, it's not like casting a a spell with additional casting costs - mandatory or optional - in which you can add the sum for a total casting cost... which at least to me feels similar to what is being done here... I guess the idea is just lost on me. >_<
