Getting rid of 'non-black' doesn't feel like an upgrade? That would be the main reason why I don't play Annihilate...
I can't comment on the 'doesn't feel green part', though, except it helps justify in my head why this card can target black creatures. I know, though... Murder didn't need another color to justify it, though. I don't know. Let's see what other people think.
Had to include 'or less'. Silly, I know.
Probably. I remember there being a confusion issue with that in my head, but I can't remember what it was. Anyhow, I edited to your suggest Link. It's probably the easiest to parse.
Removed option to untap things.
This could easily be
, since we've hit so many 
uncommon submissions.
Four cards--> Five
This doesn't seem like too much of an upgrade. It also doesn't feel at all green.
I feel like we're overcomplicating this now.
Couldn't it also be" Discard cards until you have four cards in hand?"
increased cost by
.
If it kept the same cost, adding Esper mana would be almost over with me, except that it would be a very odd- looking card. I think Alex's suggestion of bumping the cost up to 3 is probably best fit now.
Geosurge doesn't let you cast sorceries, and sorceries are the real bugger in combo-land. I'm guessing they did that on purpose. But I digress.
I assume the important part of this spell is the cantrip, yes? Would it be wrong to ask for a weird wash? I doubt it would be broken if the card cost
and added 
to your mana pool (plus draw a card). Solves a lot of power level problems, while still being a great card for a very niche deck. That might not be what people want to see, perhaps. I think I'd like it for its wierdness, though.
Or Lim-Dûl's Vault / Diabolic Vision for that matter. Though, I don't really think the game needs a card that's almost strictly better than Diabolic Visions. That card is due for a repeat at some point. Probably would have seen one, too, if the core game didn't like gold cards.
Oh, whoops, yes, it was Runearrow archer that moved. All the more reason to make sure Reach stays on the new card.
Whoops. You're right. Edited. That's what you get when you copy/paste without double checking to make sure what you wrote makes sense.
May I suggest "~ is all colors."?
That would give you the flexibility to make it cost CD, but also allow for a wider range of choices in Commander...
I definitely like the concept of applying the ability to the creature itself, it makes it more immediately exciting, but as-is, that would just be equivalent to making it cost 3.
Could it be an more Aer-specific "any colour" ability, eg. something that somehow works if you have three colours of mana, but it doesn't matter which three? That embraces multicolour-ness, although it still has the problem that the mana cost written on the card isn't really accurate.
Oh, heh, good point.
Hmm, if this block was including hybrid that'd be an argument for giving this guy a hybrid cost...
Perhaps this guy's ability could apply to himself? "You may spend mana as though it were mana of any colour to cast ~"?
Good point. I had this in
, and then I realized people would probably want to play it as an EDH general, and that there aren't many flying green creatures. I also realized the ability would be more useful in 3-color EDH than 2-color, which is funny, because it would be more useful as a 2-color creature in normal Magic.
Ah! I think enchantment digger replaced runearrow archer at common, but we probably ALSO want to move Soulcapture Lance to uncommon. Either way, I'd rather distance this more from Enchantment Digger, or replace it with Lightmare or one of the other common submissions.
