Nightshade Dryad

Templating Mana Creation Cards

New • 16 Jul 2024 • Asked by eternalcheechako • 2 Comments

any idea why cards that can make colorless OR colored mana (like nightshade dryad) are templated with one ability for colorless, and one for colored?

The other way to write it would be “T: Add W, U, B, R, G or C” which would make give it a five-color color identity and make the card very hard to play in Commander.

Nightshade Dryad Mana Clarification

Why does Nightshade Dryad have "T: Add C" and "T: Add one mana of any color" instead of "T: Add one mana of any type"? Was it to make clear that it can add colorless?

I assume.
