This guy will fit perfectly in my Kaleidostone/Prophetic Prism/Grand Architect/Mirran Spy deck, mostly because his name is appropriately well-punned for a deck I call "Mana Laundering."

Fun fact CapmCrunch. Your idea of what Chromanticore's 5 abilities should have been are what the original draft for this card had. They had to change it though because it didn't fit in the text box.

Right now I think Wasteland Viper will be Chroma-manticore's best friend.
I wish it had just one more toughness to play better with Voltaic Rig.
With Sylvan Caryatid, Chromatic Lantern, and maybe Mana Bloom and Verdant Haven, I wouldn't be surprised to cast this guy on turn four some of the time.

My friend is quite excited to put this in his Progenitus commander deck. 4/5 if you can cast it.

I drafted this. Can you believe that this was passed 5 times? The fools...
Did I win? Hahaha, no. But I can guarantee you I had the most fun that night.
First game was lost.
Third game was also lost.
The second game was legendary.
I drew Chromanticore opening hand and had gotten enough to cast pretty early thanks to Unknown Shores and Opaline Unicorn, and it probably would've won then and there. I wanted to wait until I had enough mana to bestow it, however. I had a plan.
It was the most grueling 4 turns I've ever played. It was worth it.
I stood up and announced to the whole game store (20+ people that night):
"I bestow Chromanticore on Yoked Ox"
Best night of my life. 11/5 stars, would draft again.
(Incidentally, I went 2:0 that game. Topcarded Chromanticore as I was about to lose next turn. Yokedcore/Chromaticox 4 lyfe.)

This is such a neat card. I find it pretty ridiculous that it was significantly nerfed because the text was a few characters too long for the text box. That's fine for a common, but for a gorgeous mythic like this just... fix it. Drop the reminder text. Make the font 1pt smaller. Do what it takes to print the card as it was designed!

@DraftOnly: That actually is a pretty cool story, bro. Heh. Chromaticox.

Building a deck around a first-pick Chromanticore can be a huge hassle. You need to pick up all the mana fixing and draw spells you can find, no matter how awkward they may be. The good news is, if you can resolve Chromaticore, you can turn around pretty much any board state. That goes double if you bestow it onto something.
