Seems a little on the cheap side, considering how many ways it's "better" than Elvish Mystic.

by 10vernothin:

It's also mythic.

I'm trying to make this the Space Gem.

The first one basically says "I can teleport to any land and get their mana" the second one is tapping into the "Space power" which is {g} .

I don't know what activated ability I should make it. I tried with doubling mana, but it just loops and go infinite

by Jsys Cryst:

This allows for teleportation, so why not make it a Yeva, Nature's Herald kind of thing? Also, why do you want it to cost only 1 mana? A cost of 3 or 4 would allow for way splashier abilities while still allowing constructed playability.

Another idea would be to play up the "Infinity Gauntlet" idea. Have each gem grant some bonus - be it to creatures, spells or permanents - and if you control all of them, your stuff has protection from everything or you get an Omniscience or some Kaldra-like thing you can voltron up to.

by 10vernothin:

I like that last idea. Though design will take a bit

by jmgariepy:

Mmm... there hasn't been a card since Urza Block that produced mana for so cheap. Comparing it to Elvish Mystic is fair, even if that card is a common. The Mystic is the top end of mana production in Standard. It's a tier one card.

You could get away with "Elvish Mystic with gadgets" like Noble Hierarch, but "Better mana production than Elvish Mystic" tends to break Standard/Modern. As it stands, I get the impression that {2} is bound to be too cheap for whatever this card ends up doing, but I'd be willing to suspend disbelief there.
