But they then cite Kenrith, the Returned King, so you can see my confusion. |

Maybe "multicolored" was intended to refer to color identity? Let's ask BinaryBolas . |

@ The Harlequin: Small rules heads-up: For spells like this, you need to name all required targets as you announce casting them, before paying the costs - which the spell then only checks upon resolution. This means in your case unless you add an 'up to one target creature' clause to the second "mode", your card cannot be cast for its first "mode" if there are no creatures on the battlefield. |

This means in your case unless you add an 'up to one target creature' clause to the second "mode", your card cannot be cast for its first "mode" if there are no creatures on the battlefield. Alternatively, a reflexive trigger can be made that checks what color was used to cast. But then some action needs to be added to the effect that causes the reflexive trigger. Edit: That action could be as simple as "Choose target player." Then after that you can have "When you do, if was spent to cast ~, stuff target stuff. If was spent to cast, stuff target stuff." Note: You can end up with being able to choose targets for both if an opponent has something like a Thalia out. |

 Edit: does this meet the gold identity requirement? Edit2: Does this effect read clearly? Trying to conserve words/keep concise. Turns mana sources used to cast it into Wastes, adds color-flavor abilities as long as it soaks up the right colors. Most effective if you can feed it something like Wildfield Borderpost or Steward of Valeron |

Edit: does this meet the gold identity requirement? Edit2: Does this effect read clearly? Trying to conserve words/keep concise. Turns mana sources used to cast it into Wastes, adds color-flavor abilities as long as it soaks up the right colors. Most effective if you can feed it something like Wildfield Borderpost or Steward of Valeron I mean, firstly, wouldn’t the card become rather than be those colors? You didn’t put the timing to sacrifice the permanents but I believe the card would be a different object if it’s colors shifted during casting. So presumably either way it would change into the colors as it / after it enters the battlefield, meaning it isn’t those colors and becomes them. There are effects that change into a color and are described as “being” those colors as opposed to becoming those colors are “as long as” effects. Now, this card is monocolored (the only colored mana symbol is green) in identity and colorless (in terms of card color. Cards without colored mana in mana costs and which do not have an unconditional “this card is X color(s)” ability are colorless). It shouldn’t have a gold border, since as a card it’s not multicolored. It can become multicolored, but that doesn’t mean it is multicolored. I am not saying it’s not valid for this contest, but if it is valid it’s more of a “spirit of the challenge” or “close enough” kind of thing, as technically this card is not multicolored and as such I personally wouldn’t say it meets the requirements. Edit: For wording I would suggest something like “When ~ enters the battlefield, sacrifice each mana source used to cast it and create that many tapped Wastes land tokens. ~ becomes each color among colors of mana those sources could produce. As long as ~ is green, artifacts you control are green in addition to their other colors and have “(tap): Add ::G::”. As long as ~ is white, artifacts you control are white in addition to their other colors and have lifelink.” I am uncertain if “each mana source” is an actual usable term, but I can’t think of a better one right now, so I’ll leave it to anyone else who wants to to correct it. Also, note that even with this correction the card still wouldn’t be multicolored or even have a multicolored color identity. |
