Okay, this is either really cool or really lame, but I'm not sure which. Just running it up the flagpole to see.

Thumbs up from me. Maybe reduce the requirement to 4 creatures?

by M_Houlding:

My instinct is that the second clause will be relevant so infrequently, that you'd be better off tying the first restriction to the function. i.e:

Newbridge
Land
{t} : Add 1 to your mana pool.
{t} : Add one mana of any color to your mana pool. Activate this ability only if you control X creatures.

Keep in mind that it's REALLY hard to have 5 creatures in play without serious assistance from token makers (or you're playing Onslaught block), unlike how Temple of the False God is restricted by a condition that naturally flows into its function.

by Bombshell:

I don't know: Gaea's Cradle does pretty well for itself.

That said; it is a lot of work for a pretty small effect and unlike the cradle, it doesn't help ramp up. Might want to make it easier to play or more rewarding once the goal is met.

by SFletcher:

Two mana of any color?

I really like the flavor of it. I imagine it's that enough cultures or minds or whatever got together that the result in this instance is the convenient access to any color mana.
