New colorless mana symbol and Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx

Asked by vesalon 9 years ago

I wanted to revisit the question about Nykthos and being able to tap it for colorless devotion. Since colorless now has a mana symbol. Granted there isn't too many cards with the new symbol just yet. However I am curious how this affects Nykthos.

Please link all cards in your question.

Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx

The Shrine can only tap for devotion to a color. Colorless, while it is a type of mana that can be produced, is not a color. so no, the Shrine cannot tap for devotion to .

When anything in Magic instructs you to "Choose a color" you may ONLY pick White, Blue, Black, Red or Green.

105.1. There are five colors in the Magic game: white, blue, black, red, and green

105.4. If a player is asked to choose a color, he or she must choose one of the five colors. Multicolored is not a color. Neither is colorless.

Regardless of any visual change to symbols, those rules remain intact.
