Why isthe upside that you can pay more in a more specific circumstance?

I would assume you'd want to move the {1} from the shift cost to the mana cost, maybe for different damage.

Because you don't have any {r}, and can now use {w} instead - provided you obey white's limit.

Should this maybe be the other way around? Maybe that'd be more exciting. Or maybe even, hmmm. Limited Lightning maybe?

Not sure about 'shift' as a name.

Changing the mechanic name to refract. Idk how good that is but I think it is better than Shift.

Secret Infiltrator the upside is you can play the card outside its normal colors in limited circumstances. I feel fine about its cost.

Vitenka I feel like Limited Lightning is cool but serves a different purpose. I'll try designing a few more cards and see if I come to the same conclusion as you.
