I almost just made this card again, before I thought to search for it.

Hmmm. So it's white mana, except it also lets you do off-colour activations.

Interesting. Almost phrasable as "Add any colour of white mana" :)

It's color fixing for multicolor white cards too. Shame that it would need to be part of a cycle

I wouldn't have an issue with placing this outside a cycle IF (big if) only white had a multicolor archtype.

Otherwise, yeah, cycle fo sure.

When making lands that would be part of an obviously-expanded cycle, I tend to only make one. In this case, I did make all of them: Shimmering Coast, Blooming Everglades, Prismatic Flows, and Mysterious Woods.

About the only issue I have with these beng mana-fixing for a gold-only set is that they are "I want four of these for each colour I'm splashing" quality of goodness. And yet clearly want to be rare.

They aren't even strictly better than plains. (Can't power white mana activation on non-white cards)

they are cool
