For Challenge # 060.
Oh, awesome fit for the art.
Indeed, great mechanic for the art!
Dev-wise the cost here seems very expensive. I can see why you didn't want just WUBRG, but I'd have thought 1WUBRG or 2WUBRG would be sufficient on a five-colour mythic enchantment that doesn't affect the board until next turn.
The CMC was inspired by Omniscience, but given that this is 5-color, you're probably right and it can be cheaper.
I can see why you would have based the casting cost on Omniscience, but this card isn't really as powerful as that one, except for purposes of
spells and additional costs. If you're at three life when you play this (quite possible, since this card comes out in the late game) it won't be much better than a Gilded Lotus (heh. lotus).
Also, I'm going to assume that this card is printed in Future Sight II, and includes the reminder text (For example, at the beginning of your upkeep, if you had six life, you could add three blue, two orange and a purple mana, if those colors of mana exist.)
