How do chromatic orrery and void mirror work together

Asked by Monomanamaniac 2 years ago

So I have Chromatic Orrery and Void Mirror in play, can I add colorless mana to my pool, then use it as if it were colored mana to cast a spell and not have it countered. Like if I tapped a Thought Vessel to cast a Sol Ring could I instead spend the mana as if it were blue and not have to lose my thing?

the mana is still colorless. spending it "as if it were any color" really just means ignore color costs in the spell.

DragonWolf420 609.4b If an effect allows a player to spend mana “as though it were mana of any [type or color],” this affects only how the player may pay a cost. It doesn’t change that cost, and it doesn’t change what mana was actually spent to pay that cost.

Gave you the answer but decided to look it up anyways. There's the official rule and it says essentially what you said
