Yeah i only suggested the hybrid mana cost because players don't seem to want to play 4 color cards and this seems like it could be good in many different kinds of 2 or 3 color decks.
Well, that depends on the flavor of the world and character and what decisions might lead to putting
in other casting costs. Admittedly, those things aren't fleshed out here.
Personally, I find the cost you suggested to be less appealing, but that could just be personal preference.
This is intended to be Seedborn Muse as a Commander, but on steroids. It needs to cost more than just 4cmc, and I thought perhaps making it effectively 5c, CMC might be an appropriate cost. Perhaps I'll remove the
from the cost, though.
Heres an idea for a cost.
.
I dont think its a good idea to have 
in the cost of multicoloured cards. I would only use 
for Eldrazi or maybe Legendary Artifacts.
Maybe if you could just also tap it for 
or more that would be better and would justify it costing more.
I think the one big mistake you made here is trying to make a card with two very distinct states and not just go outright DFC.
Well, the single-state version certainly works, but still has a weird cost.
Previously had "At the beginning of your upkeep, if the turn preceding this one was yours, until the beginning of your next turn, ~ loses all types and abilities and becomes a colorless legendary Land with "
: Produce 
.""
Okay. This is super sloppy now and to be honest, at this point, I'm not even sure if it works.
You know what? I'm just going to delete the Land clause.
Wait, @SecretInfiltrator — I think I'm missing something. How does this become a creature during your other opponents' turns after the first?
I think I just didn't put as much thought into this as I should have and as you guys are.
The intent is that the first ability is only active every other turn cycle, which was meant to curtail the power level. It's intended for Commander and therefore multiplayer.
So, the first turn cycle you have it, it's supposed to be a creature, and grant you your draw/untap/upkeep/end steps. Then the next cycle, I meant for it to be a land until your next turn — or to otherwise lose that ability for a cycle.
Let me try to fix it.
It's weird that in multiplayer this is only a land during one opponent's turn and a creature during the other opponents' turns.
Why did you decide to make it that way?
Wait a minute. Letting it become a land on your 2nd main phase is a bad thing cause you wont get the extra turns and it will almost never become a creature again because you dont get the extra turns without main phases. In fact after your second real turn with this in play, it will become a land and just stay that way, so its only a good defender with a strong ability from when you cast it until your next main phase and then it will never defend or give you an extra tutn again.
Oh okay. I think I get it now.
So you summon this on your 1st main phase and it becomes a Land on your 2nd main phase. Or you just summon it on your 2nd main phase then it won't become a land. If its not a land, you have a very good defender and a very powerful ability.
When you get the extra turn, it will become a creature and will not become a land again plus you get the extra untap steps, upkeeps, draws and end steps which is very useful when facing multiple opponents. Unfortunately its not quite as useful in two player and it wont be a good defender for the first opponent if it became a land on the turn you summoned it.
This is one crazy card and I think I like it. But it does still hurt my brain thinking about how, when or why I would use it. And that mana cost is appropriate but kind of ugly.
So, at the end of each other player's turn you untap everything, draw a card, and get an upkeep. Potent.
Ah, yes. I made a mistake with the functionality of the second ability which obfuscated my intent. I believe it is clearer now.
Im sure you know what this card is meant to do. But I really dont know.
Okay I'm very confused. You basically skip an opponents end step to get an additional turn before your actual turn starts? But you dont actually get to play that turn. The way you've worded it means the creature is only a land on that extra turn, a land you can't really do anything with because you skip most of that turn anyway. Its cool that you get extra upkeeps and end steps for more ability triggering. Finally, you might want to change the wording of the last rule "Until the end of your next upkeep." Because the land will become a creature when your turn starts but it will immediately become a land again at the beginning lf your upkeep.
If it tapped, I know many players who really like drawing cards. Without tapping, it's just Trade Secrets, which is banned in Commander
Yeah no opponent should be taking the bait there - they should be content with you spending
and a card for what is essentially a Darksteel Relic. As far as "making it work", I think most of its power would come from it being a 
activated ability rather than from anything you could supposedly do with the ability. Ie. Crackdown Construct.
I suppose it's a puzzle piece? "This card is TERRIBLE! Find a way to make it work!"
Feeding mana into a mill-spell seems like the obvious way to try and trick them; for example :)
And I guess very rarely you might want the mana badly enough to use it, and the opponent might misplay?
But, uh, yeah. Not a sensible card really.
Ah, the classic "
: Do nothing." Multiplayer politics I guess?
"Activate only as an instant"
See Pestilence, Apocalypse Rider.
Note: In constructed, all the "Apocalypse Rider" sharing the same name would make it so you are only allowed to have 4 of them in total, regardless of which, in your deck.
