Using colorless mana from creature

Asked by epicPlain 3 years ago

Must the permanent spell that I pay with colorless mana from Cultivator Drone contain only colorless mana or is 2U or 1G or whatever you have fine?

Usually, if a card has a in its mana cost then it's a blue card and a blue spell (and obviously therefore not colourless). Some cards have the Devoid ability, which means that they're colourless despite the fact that is has blue in its cost.

Cultivator Drone 's mana, if spent to cast a spell, can only be spent on a colourless spell (which includes Devoid spells). So any regular colourless spell, or yeah, a card like Cultivator Drone itself. It can still only be spent on generic costs or specifically colourless costs in that spell's costs though.

The answer is... kinda.

As mentioned above, spells with devoid (such as Cultivator Drone ) would qualify.

Additionally, in theory if a spell's cost involved BOTH a AND a coloured mana symbol (eg ) then you would also be able to use the Cultivator's ability to cast it. That said, AFAIK there is currently no such spell.

Named_Tawyny, when casting spells, Cultivator Drone 's colourless mana can be spent on generic costs.
