How does Kruphix, God of Horizons 2nd ability work?
Asked by Kickass101 11 years ago
I'm just a little confused on what the 2nd ability on Kruphix is. for those of you who don't know his ability, here:
If unused mana would empty from your mana pool, that mana becomes colorles instead.
Please just clarify this for my. Thank You!
Sorry, "end of turn" should be any time the mana pool empties instead, but most of the time that's how you'll likely play it. Float the mana at the end of your opponents turn to store it.

Ok so if I play Loxodon Smiter then at the end of the turn I will have 3 colorless mana floating?

No, that's why it says "unused". Mana emptying from your pool because you used it to pay a cost won't stay around.
Normally at the end of a step or phase, unused mana currently in your mana pool goes away. Kruphix makes it stay in the pool instead and turns it colorless (if it's already colorless, it will still stay).

If i have say "5" colourless mana in my mana pool and i want to cast something for 5 colourless mana will that mana dissapear or stay there after casting that spell or dissapear?

It gets used up, and it won't stay in your mana pool. Kruphix, God of Horizons only lets you hang on to unused mana.

Also, it's better to make a new question topic than post in an old one that's fallen off the front page of MTG Q&A. That way people will see it. The only reason I knew you posted here was because I was automatically subscribed to the topic after my earlier post.

Hey, sorry for writing on an old post but you guys seem to know what your talking about more than other people. I was wondering if I got colorless mana in another way, like tapping a land that produces colorless mana, does it stay? Or do I have to have kruphix. Thanks. Sorry again. Hope you guys see this.

Yes, it would stay. The colorless mana would become colorless mana instead of emptying from your mana pool.
It is best to create a new post for this sort of question, as necro-ing only notifies people subscribed to the post about the change, and does not move it back to the "Unanswered questions" queue or anything.

There's nothing special about colorless mana that makes it stay in your mana pool after a step or phase ends. Whenever the event "unused mana empties from your pool" would happen, Kruphix replaces it with a different event: "unused mana turns colorless". If that mana is already colorless, it becomes colorless again, which doesn't really mean anything special.
If Kruphix isn't around then unused colorless mana will empty from your pool at the end of each step and phase like normal.

If you have any mana in your pool at the end of the turn it becomes colorless and stays in the pool indefinitely.
