Are colorless mana abilities still considered as mana abilities?
Asked by Hanzeru 9 years ago
I got 2 Kurkesh, Onakke Ancient from the M15 booster box I have opened and was thinking of building a deck around it. However, there seems to be only one artifact with activated ability not requiring mana(Grindclock ). So, if an artifact requires a colorless mana to activate its ability, is it a valid target for the Ancient's ability?

You're getting confused about what a mana ability is. A mana ability is not an ability that costs mana to activate. A mana ability is defined by three things:
An example of a mana ability is the ability of Birds of Paradise . Thus, any artifacts that have an activated ability that doesn't fill those 3 criteria will trigger Kurkesh.
