An alternative idea to the 1cc Glornican Spell concept. This one has the drawback of not being multicolored (I didn't have the room for it... since it supports three colors, I'd have to call it out in rules text). It also suffers from putting colored mana in the text, though, strangely, this may be one of the few times that rule makes sense in Commander, and the requirement for colored mana can't be abused by dual lands, letting me make this more potent spell in the process.

So I guess there are two toggle switches that I need to decide on: ­

Also, I suppose I should note that that I do have the space to make three color - mono color creatures, assuming they're close to vanilla. I could go the funky frame route with a combination of 2 and 3 colored cards... it's just that the 3 color cards need to be very simple.

Oh, and the colored mana symbols in the text may make sense on 1cc cards, but they're going to look a little weird if I try to print something with a cost of . Requiring a certain basic land is kind of odd with that casting cost, but isn't that weird seeing it follows the set's flavor.

And I suppose it should be pointed out that this is a bad common:

Alternate First Striker
­
Creature
As long as you have in your mana pool, ~ gains first strike.
2/2

Since many players don't know that mana pools empty at end of combat.... or that you can cast instants after damage is dealt inside combat. If I asked for a Mountain, however, none of that would matter.
