So it's good that it is more difficult to cast. Even so, I'd expect it could warp a Standard environment somewhat toward colorless. In BfZ standard I'd expect this to be OK; RtR standard, not so much. So that's definitely caring about colorless in an interesting, metagame-y way.lpaulsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07772860908442278112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5479847193762153273.post-30868931376447353922015-12-22T06:07:07.252-05:002015-12-22T06:07:07.252-05:00Soulfade Field{<>}{<>}BB

Ironically, it isn't broken partly because prior to BfZ there was no reason anyone would want an ability reading "{color}: add {colorless} to your mana pool".<br /><br />Then again, maybe this is too good because it's an efficient creature that lets you build a 5-color deck with Unknown Shores and the like.
