{iW}, {iU}, {iB}, {iR}, and {iG} are the inverse mana symbols. Similar to {q}, they represent untapping a resource that could produce that mana. To pay {iW}, one could untap a Plains, a Glacial Fortress, or a Birds of Paradise.
The inverse mana symbols are black circles with colored symbols.

Huh. That's an interesting mana concept. Though probably would be templated as "Untap two Islands" for simplicity. Just as dangerous too, if even a few of these cards exist games will be very VERY short.

Two islands?
I am aware of how broken this would be, by the way. Just thought I'd toss it out there anyway.

Reminder text something like "(To pay {iU}, untap a permanent that could tap to add {u}.)"?

Fun idea. I thought {q} would be broken too, but it wasn't, really. Though my Puresight Merrow-Hermetic Study deck won a lot and annoyed people a lot.

I wish this didn't make it possible to produce {u}{u}{iU} on turn one.

Was it someone on Multiverse who invented inverted mana that was "paid" by mana you'd already spent that turn?

I think I might change this to "{iU} can be paid with {u} you've already spent this turn", and let the comp rules handle the weirdness. I really do feel like I've seen that somewhere before, though.

Yeah, I think I've seen that on Multiverse. Can't remember where though.

(formatting help)
Enter mana symbols like this: {2}{U}{U/R}{PR}, {T} becomes {2}{u}{u/r}{pr}, {t}
