Enables Omnidoor Thragfire. Gets five stars from me just for that.

Neat with Depletion Lands from mercadian masks. You can use them to get this out t2, but then you can tap them for normal mana after getting a free turn of ramping.

It's fun to make a deck out of this and all of those cards that steal cards from the opponent and allow you to play them.

This is also really fun in mono-green to use all kinds of things..

Huh, I just noticed the lights in the picture are the three non-DImir colours. Nice flavour.

I can see why they justified its existence though. It seems amazingly good at first (I can play any colour in any deck!) but it becomes a single card crutch, and that can be exploited. If you start to build your deck according so that no longer becomes a problem, you end up with a typical rainbow deck anyway.

There are things it doesn't outdo too. Manalith was always terrible, let's not joke about that. But Darksteel Ingot still has use for being indestructible, Coalition Relic works wonders with charge counter based cards, Scuttlemutt is still a creature with colour affecting properties, Spectral Searchlight has multiplayer opportunities, Vessel of Endless Rest can get rid of pesky graveyard recurring...

Yes, I did just search through a load of mana fixing cards (fou... (see all)

Strictly better than Manalith. Going in every multicolored Commander deck.

EDH Platinum, I cannot find a reason not to include this card in any EDH deck.

Joiner Adept that makes mana and isn't a fragile creature. This card wins.
