Does.. does that remove the {t} part of a cost? Because wow, I'm pretty sure I can break things into itty bitty pieces if so.

Oooh, and "Sacrifice". But heck, let's start simple. Myojin of Cleansing Fire

This is probably pretty bonkers, yeah.

The flavour text is hilarious.

Haha, thanks! I was trying to convey a flavor similar to the Danger Room, and I didn't know how else to do it.

­Axebane Guardian, Verdant Eidolon, Composite Golem (although the latter doesn't give you unlimited activations of any other ability, it just gives a bottomless supply of {w}{b}{r})...

Being able to Door to Nothingness for 5GU without having to wait a turn isn't so bad either, especially if there are multiple opponents and you can smack the rest down after you get more mana next turn.

You'd have to find a way to animate [Door to Nothingness] first.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think there are infinite mana combos involving cheaper permanents than this one. I do recognize that it's a very dangerous ability, though. Maybe "You may pay {u}{g} and tap ~ rather than pay" would be safer (though much less exciting).

Or perhaps "You may pay {u/g} and tap an untapped creature you control rather than pay..."
