Null Elemental Blast

Colorless Mana Cost

Hi Mark! I know it's weird to ask about color pie break when talking colorless but, isn't null elemental blast a break? Is not something that all colors can do nor is it overcosted. As usual thanks for taking the time and all your hard work

It requiring colorless mana in its cost means it’s not judge solely on rate like normal colorless cards with generic costs.

Colorless's Color Pie

Hello Mark! Null Elemental Blast does something that any color could do with such efficiency. Is this the signal that “pure colorless” {C} is getting a tiny slice of color pie?

We’re deciding what it can and can’t do, so sort of.

Hello Mark, after the recent MH3 reveals I was looking around and was surprised to learn that Convoke can't cover the colorless only costs on spells like Null Elemental Blast, as it's neither a generic cost nor colored mana by definition. It's admittedly a very niche interaction, but I feel like this is a bit unintuitive. Do you think there would be any value in updating Convoke so you could pay for colorless only mana with colorless creatures?

Assuming we don’t make cards that have both colorless mana costs and convoke, I just don’t think it’s something that will come up, except in hypotheticals. I agree it’s non-intuitive.
