DemonDragonJ Right now, the only artifact that can reliably dump out blue mana (specifically) is Five Hundred Year Diary, which is restricted by the number of Clues you have. Other "any color" artifacts like Empowered Autogenerator or The Eternity Elevator, for a couple of new examples, are slow to get rolling. So I would say there's pretty much no precedent for an artifact that quickly and reliably produces more than one, maybe two blue mana. My takeaway is that no artifacts have that restriction because no artifacts exist that would have that restriction.

Stepping into your response to Idoneity, green is allowed to be much more flexible in when and how it produces mana than any other color, especially blue. Cards that produce lots of mana of any color, even creating only a single color at a time, have a lot of potential power--a lot of cards with the word Lotus in the name have been banned, restricted, or errata'ed one way or another. So my guess is that the designers decided mass mana production is fair as a late game effect, but want to heavily restrict it for the early and mid game. It's worth noting that every new card (first printed in the last four years) that can produce three or more mana costs 3+ mana to cast, has an additional cost for the mana, or is heavily restricted for what it can be used for.

legendofa, only creature have that restriction, from what I have seen, since blue is not supposed to have unconditional mana dorks, but artifacts usually do not have that restriction.

Idoneity, why would such a card require such a restriction, when the amount of mana that it can generate is variable, and dependent upon how many other artifacts that its controller also controls, when Circle of Dreams Druid does not have any restrictions, and, on that subject, why does Nyx Lotus enter the battlefield tapped, when the only way to profit from it is to have devotion to a single color of at least five, and why does Empowered Autogenerator enter the battlefield tapped, when there is no way, no even with a Doubling Season, for its controller to profit from it, in a single turn?

DemonDragonJ on All Will Be One

I have replaced Otherworld Atlas with Replicating Ring, which reduced this deck's average converted mana cost from 3.63 to 3.62, because I should not be assisting my opponents, outside of dedicated group hug decks, and the ring shall provide amazing mana acceleration, for this deck; I almost chose Empowered Autogenerator, but that artifact enters the battlefield tapped, whereas the ring does not.

DemonDragonJ on What Card Should Replace Otherworld …

sergiodelrio, among those cards, Reckoner Bankbuster simply does not interest me; Darksteel Reactor is a very nice card, but is too slow, and does nothing until its ability triggers; Vraska, Betrayal's Sting would raise the mana curve of my deck too much; and I actually very much would like to put Magistrate's Scepter in that deck, but it costs 4 mana to put one charge counter on it, so it is too expensive.

Given that I just put Zameck Guildmage into that deck, providing both an additional mana sink and an additional source of card advantage, I think that Empowered Autogenerator is very appealing, but I would like to receive further feedback from other users, before I make a decision, on that matter.

DemonDragonJ on What Card Should Replace Otherworld …

I have a copy of Otherworld Atlas in my Atraxa, Praetors' Voice EDH deck, but I am contemplating replacing it with another card, since other users here have said that that card is not a good card, so I would like to ask for advice on what card should replace it.

My first choice was Mindless Automaton, because of how excellent that creature would be, in this deck, but that would be one less card that would synergize with Flux Channeler, so I am also considering Empowered Autogenerator, since that card obviously would be amazing in this deck, although it does enter the battlefield tapped, which I feel is competently necessary, since, even with a Doubling Season, on the battlefield, its controller cannot regain the mana that they spent on it, immediately. I also am considering Tome of Legends, which does require mana to activate, but has amazing synergy with that deck.

What does everyone else say about this? What card should I put into my Atraxa deck, in place of Otherworld Atlas?

I love this deck. It seems really powerful, but I feel like you could use some more ramp. Coalition Relic, Everflowing Chalice, Astral Cornucopia, and maybe even Empowered Autogenerator all seem like good options with proliferate synergies.

IMO must includes for draw, control, and a bit of ramp Grappling Hook, Angel of Condemnation, Endless Atlas, Darksteel Mutation, Empowered Autogenerator, Steel Hellkite.

Here are a list of unblockable artifacts that smooth out any voltron play Hot Soup, Prowler's Helm, Whispersilk Cloak, Suspicious Bookcase, Rogue's Passage, Trailblazer's Boots, Manifold Key, Key to the City.
