Bwuh? Any number of Oros decks would love to just have an Arcane Sanctum for {w}/{b}/{r}. The Arcane Sanctum cycle still goes for $1 even though they're uncommons. I really, really don't think this needs the stonking amount of extra abilities.

Also compare to Akoum Refuge.

Your probably right.

changed it to be much more fun for shrine players!

I wanna run a five colour shrine deck!

Only problem is, I'm not sure I'd bother putting any spells into it; so who cares what colour the mana is?

But this fixes it, so I can run a Fireball or whatever to finish.

Nice card! Delightful build-around-me for Johnny in draft or casual.

I think this would be templated like Reflecting Pool... something like:

> Shrines you control have "{t}: Add to your mana pool one mana of any type that a Shrine you control could produce."

(This will often be worse than Reflecting Pool, but that's really not a problem as that card was stupidly good in constructed alongside Vivid lands, pretty much single-handedly enabling some painful 5-colour control decks in tournaments. Being worse than Reflecting Pool is just fine.)

fixed wording.

I like that you like it. Because i thought this card made the whole Shrine cycle very much fun.

Made this a non-shrine, or else it would be in every deck in the meta.
