How does Dictate of Karametra (and similar effects) work with Nykthos?
Asked by meecht 11 years ago
Setup:
Devotion to Green is 6.
Dictate of Karametra
on the field
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx
on the field
If you activate Nykthos for green mana, do you actually generate 7 mana (6 devotion + 1 from Dictate)?

I'm not too sure about that. It'll certainly generate the 7 mana, but I'll have to wait for the gatherer to say for certain that it has to be all green mana. (eg if you have devotion to red on the table as well, then Nykthos could produce red. Since it says 'any colour that land produces' it wouldn't surprise me if the ruling is that you can have your six green and a red as well.
We'll see.

Named_Tawyny, you can only get green. If it said "one mana that that land could produce" it could grab any colour, however it has to be one that the land produced just then. Heartbeat of Spring has been errata'd to have the same wording, but the old wording makes it fairly clear what it means.

@Named_Tawyny - Dictate of Karametra says "any color that land produced," so it would have to be whatever color you tapped Nykthos for.

Wow, not sure how I read that 'd' as an 's'. Whoops.

Yes, that is correct.
